B (62 KP) rated The Canterbury Tales in Books

Oct 13, 2018  
I read this book in preparation for teaching my 7th graders and was extremely pleased. I remember reading parts of the original while at uni and feeling absolutely bored as I had to translate the Middle English before making any sense of it. McCaughrean's adaptation, while I'm not sure how accurate, is extremely enjoyable. I especially like the stories told by the Knight and the Wife of Bath. I recommend this text to anyone who has ever wanted to read the classic book but just doesn't have the time and patience to suffer through translation.
