The Canterbury Tales: The Franklin's Tale (Modern Verse Translation)
Sintesi dell'editore
This is a story from the Canterbury Tales I: Modern Verse Translation collection.
Chaucer's greatest work, written towards the end of the fourteenth century, paints a brilliant picture of medieval life, society and values. The stories range from the romantic, courtly idealism of "The Knight's Tale" to the joyous bawdy of the Miller's; all are told with a freshness and vigor in this modern verse translation that make them a delight to hear.

one of the edifying tales
Chaucer in modern translation, in rhyming couplets. Lovely reading by Anton Lesser. I could listen all day.
