A group of pilgrims are travelling together for five days from London to Canterbury. On the way, each pilgrim has to tell a story to keep the others amused.
This is one of the most famous books in the English language and was written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the mid-fourteenth century. The stories are often funny and sometimes sad but they show how little human nature has changed.

Geoffrey Chaucer

Geoffrey Chaucer (1343–1400) is regarded as the "Father of English Literature" and a pivotal figure in medieval writing. His most celebrated work, The Canterbury Tales, is a collection of 24 stories written in Middle English, depicting a diverse group of pilgrims sharing tales during their journey to Canterbury. Blending humor, satire, and moral lessons, the work offers vivid insights into 14th-century society. Chaucer's use of vernacular English transformed literary tradition, making his works foundational to English literature.
