"I had to memorize the prologue to the entire collection in Middle English to pass my English class in high school. I can still recite 90% of it on demand. Also the prioress... total bitch."
"I'd forgotten how much these tales make me laugh! (and Chaucer writes some rather "shocking" material for the 15th century) My senior AP kids will read this and then race through British lit this fall."
"These tales are ribald and fun as always, though this particular edition was a bit short. I would have preferred a complete edition, but had to take what I could get here at the public libraries in Germany. I am really surprised by the author's retraction at the end, especially when I realize it is not in jest."
