  For all its great reputation and the affection in which it is held, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, written as it is in Middle English, can actually be a daunting prospect to read. Now, following the success of his Easy Reading Shakespeare: The Bard in Bite-Size Verse, Richard Cuddington steps in with a novel approach to Chaucer's famous gallery of pilgrims with their tales of chivalry, romance, courtly love, treachery, avarice, bawdiness, humour and nobility. Whether you're new to the tales, or perhaps a teacher looking to enthuse and stimulate your students, or simply thinking of re-reading them, you will find here a thoroughly entertaining and immediately accessible way in to the storytelling genius of Chaucer in simple and amusing rhyming verse.
