The Canterbury Pilgrims Being Chaucer's Canterbury Tales Retold For Children

By Mary Sturt and E.C. Oakden

Book Overview

The Canterbury Pilgrims is a retelling of Geoffrey Chaucer's famous work, The Canterbury Tales, specifically for children. Written by M. Sturt, the book follows a group of pilgrims as they journey from London to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket. Along the way, each pilgrim tells a story to entertain their fellow travelers, ranging from humorous to moralistic. The book includes retellings of some of the most famous tales, such as The Knight's Tale, The Miller's Tale, and The Wife of Bath's Tale. The language is simplified for younger readers, but still captures the essence of Chaucer's original work.
