It follows a diverse group of pilgrims travelling from London to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury, who agree to entertain one another by telling stories along the journey. The tales range from courtly romance and moral fable to bawdy comedy and sharp satire, while the pilgrims themselves represent a remarkable cross-section of medieval society. Through figures such as the Knight, Miller, Wife of Bath and Pardoner, Chaucer explores love, religion, class, greed and human weakness with extraordinary humour and insight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216499884371,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421155606867,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/1077.jpg?v=1794130468","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-canterbury-tales-1998-folio-society-1077","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
