Chaucer's greatest work, written towards the end of the fourteenth century, paints a brilliant picture of medieval life, society and values. The stories contained within this recording -- including The Clerk's Prologue and Tale, The Nun's Priest Prologue and Tale, The Prioress's Prologue and Tale, The Reeve's Prologue and Tale, The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale -- are told with freshness and vigor (in this modern verse translation by Frank Ernest Hill, 1935), that make them a delight to hear.

Not a complete version. This is Volume II which contains The Wife of Bath's Tale, The Clerk's Tale, The Reeve's Tale, and The Nun's Priest's Tale.

There is quite an array of voices in this production with authentic-sounding accents. Very animated without being over done. I wouldn't let kids listen to the Wive's Tale, however; it is pretty risque.
