Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" tells us more than mere pilgrims'
tales. First, the Middle English of Chaucer's time makes us realise
and appreciate the evolution of the English language. The irony,
sarcasm, and wit of Pilgrim Chaucer as the Narrator delights the
literary buds of our human intellect. Curious minds should take
delight in learning about the social and moral fabric that are
woven throughout each pilgrim's character and the tales that is
spun by that pilgrim; that is the society of Chaucer's time. This
is not a book that teaches you how to, say, fix a leaky faucet;
this book is the reason why you should leave that leaky faucet, to
be transported into another realm, which precedes and shares our
time.
