Love these! So amazing to be living amid that kind of history in England. When I was a sophomore in high school we were required to memorize and recite before the class the first 18 lines of the General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales in Middle English, and reflect upon it. Bits of it still run through my head at random moments. I was not appreciative of it at the time.

That Penguin copy of the Canterbury Tales is the same edition I had at school, 52 years ago. For a paperback it's held up well and better than I have!
