The Canterbury Tales (Step Up) B2.1

As Chaucer's 14th century pilgrims begin their pilgrimage from London to Canterbury Cathedral, they all agree to tell a story. The five well-known tales in this reader – from that of the noble Knight to the story of the Wife of Bath – present, in a charming and often humorous style, many aspects of the human condition: life, death, strength, weakness, good, evil, generosity, greed and, of course, love.
