{"product_id":"the-canterbury-tales-a-selection","title":"The Canterbury Tales A Selection","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile Geoffrey Chaucer composed several magnificent works of poetry, his reputation as \"the father of English literature\" rests mainly on The Canterbury Tales, a group of stories told by an oddly assorted band of pilgrims en route to the shrine of Thomas à Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, From the mirthful and bawdy to the profoundly moral, the tales, taken in their entirety, reflect not only the manners and mores of medieval England, but, indeed, the full comic and tragic dimensions of the human condition. Considered by most to be the greatest collection of narrative poems in English literature, The Canterbury Tales were composed in the Middle English of Chaucer's day, possibly to be read aloud at the court of Richard II. However, their grandeur, humor, and relevance are timeless, as readers of this authoritative edition will discover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Geoffrey Chaucer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48498619646202,"sku":"U1\/43\/03182026","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/3387\/5450\/products\/IMG_8470.jpg?v=1773952700","url":"https:\/\/flippedpages.com\/products\/the-canterbury-tales-a-selection","provider":"Flipped Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
