Geoffrey Chaucer and Eva March Tappan
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Geoffrey Chaucer's classic "Canterbury Tales" has here been rendered into clear and contemporary English prose. These classic stories are now available to those who would like to read them without struggling through Middle English poetry. The character and humour of The Wife of Bath and other larger-than-life people created by Chaucer are now accessible to a wider audience, including children. Please note that the original Canterbury Tales includes 24 stories, of which 11 are reproduced here. - Summary by Beth Thomas (3 hr 56 min)

Shame that each chapter has a different reader and some chapters are not recordered as well as they could, though I can't expect too much if it is free.
