The Prioress's Tale And Other Tales is a collection of medieval stories written by the renowned English poet, Geoffrey Chaucer. Originally published in 1904, this book includes some of Chaucer's most famous tales, such as The Prioress's Tale, The Knight's Tale, and The Miller's Tale. These stories are written in Middle English, which may be difficult for modern readers to understand, but the book includes helpful annotations and translations to aid in comprehension. The Prioress's Tale tells the story of a young boy who is murdered by Jews and how his mother seeks revenge. The Knight's Tale is a romance that follows two knights who fall in love with the same woman. The Miller's Tale is a bawdy comedy about a carpenter, his wife, and a young scholar. These tales offer a glimpse into medieval life and culture, and are considered some of the greatest works of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
