Description
Tabard Inn to Canterb'ry Cathedral, poet pilgrims compete for free picks in Patience Agbabi's bold reimagining of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. With a unique blend of performance and poetry, this collection brings the Middle-English masterwork into the 21st century. Agbabi's critically acclaimed style infuses new life into the stories, from the Miller's Tale to the Wife of Bath's. The result is a thrilling and sublimely lyrical retelling that celebrates Chaucer's work for its performance element as well as its poetry and pilgrims. Boisterous, funky, foul-mouthed, and bursting with energy, Telling Tales takes one of Britain's most significant works of literature and gives it a fresh, exciting voice.
