Features: A group of people go on a pilgrimage to Canterbury and tell many stories along the way. These pilgrims from different social classes have distinct and interesting personalities, and the wonderful stories are like a painting of medieval charm. Two knights fall in love with the same royal maiden at the same time—will the result be joy or sorrow? How does the rooster escape the clutches of the wolf when it is snatched away? What exactly do the three brothers find—the gold or death? Is beauty or power the greatest desire of women? Can loyalty and tolerance truly bring happiness? Chaucer is the greatest writer in British history and is hailed as the "Father of English Poetry."
