The Story of Chaucer’s Canterbury Pilgrims: Retold for Children is a book written by Katharine Lee Bates in 1909. The book is a retelling of Geoffrey Chaucer’s famous literary work, The Canterbury Tales, which was written in the 14th century. Bates has adapted the original text to make it more accessible for children, while still retaining the essence of the original story. The book follows a group of pilgrims who travel from London to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket. The pilgrims come from all walks of life, including a knight, a miller, a prioress, a nun, a merchant, and a pardoner. Each pilgrim tells a story during the journey, and these stories provide a glimpse into the social and cultural context of medieval England. The book is beautifully illustrated with black and white drawings by various artists, including Walter Crane and Herbert Cole. The illustrations capture the spirit of the medieval period and bring the characters and stories to life. Overall, The Story of Chaucer’s Canterbury Pilgrims is an engaging and educational book that introduces children to one of the most important works of English literature. It is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers of all ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
