‘Canterbury Tales’ a new favorite from an old source

  Bawdy humor, infidelity and feminine sympathy were not what I expected to find while reading the prose of an old white guy who lived during the 14th century.
  Geoffrey Chaucer’s stories in "The Canterbury Tales" left me wondering not only what he would have written if he had not died while writing his novel, but also how he managed to stay alive long enough to die naturally.
  The tales told by the travelers on their way to the Canterbury Cathedral are as varied as their narrators and will leave you dreaming up stories to finish the novel yourself. The knight depicts how a man in love will do all he can to be with his darling, while the miller and sailor show how some cannot wait to leave their spouses, and my favorite, the wife of Bath, divulges “what all worldly women love best.”
  "The Canterbury Tales" is an incredible example of how the best stories can connect with any time.
