• This Is Not The Canterbury Tales! 07 May, 2006
This is a retelling of the Canterbury Tales, very simplified...in some cases leaving out the best parts! I believe it may have been originally intended safe for children.
If you're looking for a translation into modern English, keep looking. I am.

• Just Say "no!" To Translations 23 September, 2003
If you're going to read the Canterbury Tales, read them in the original Middle English (which is alot more understandable than Old English and much closer to our own Modern English). You will surely miss out on the rhythm, poetry, and humor of these fabulous stories were you to read them in translation. I would recommend the Riverside Chaucer instead.
