>> Canterbury Tales
I indeed ordered Canterbury Tales as a gift for my daughter There were many options as to the style of book available I specifically searched for something appearing a little older or different that was a hardcover and especially liked the idea it was cloth covered that sold me on this item When it arrived however it was hardcover but not cloth covered rather paper covered that looks like cloth on the actual print That was very disappointing if I had of known I would not have placed this order
>> Amazon appears to have combined the reveiws for several different editions
The Bantam edition ISBN 0 553 21082 3 edited introduced and translated by Peter G Beidler is inexpensive but readable I like having the original on one side and a translation on the other because it enables me to make an attempt at reading the original and then check my comprehension with the translation The introduction and notes are informative but not intrusive It s true that only ten of the tales are included but there is enough to keep you busy for awhile I recommend this if you are looking for an inexpensive and portable edition
>> Why is Chaucer so great
Umm Did not enjoy this book Characters were almost all lewd and bad people crooks and the like One dimensional characters all The stories they told were sometimes interesting at least
