Description

Janet Harvey Kelman’s retelling provides a simplified introduction to select narratives from Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. Part of the “Told to the Children” series, the book translates complex Middle English poetry into accessible prose, allowing young readers to enjoy the moral and adventurous stories. The volume focuses on famous tales like Dorigen, Emelia, Griselda, and Constance, preserving the spirit of the original pilgrims’ journey while making the themes digestible for children.
