About the Author

Geoffrey Chaucer, one of England's greatest poets, was born in London about 1340, the son of a wine merchant and deputy to the king's butler and his wife Agnes. Not much is known of Chaucer's early life and education, other than he learned to read French, Latin, and Italian. His experiences as a show more civil servant and diplomat are said to have developed his fascination with people and his knowledge of English life. In 1359-1360 Chaucer traveled with King Edward III's army to France during the Hundred Years' War and was captured in Ardennes. He returned to England after the Treaty of Bretigny when the King paid his ransom. In 1366 he married Philippa Roet, one of Queen Philippa's ladies, who gave him two sons and two daughters. Chaucer remained in royal service traveling to Flanders, Italy, and Spain. These travels would all have a great influence on his work. His early writing was influenced by the French tradition of courtly love poetry, and his later work by the Italians, especially Dante, Boccaccio, and Petrarch. Chaucer wrote in Middle English, the form of English used from 1100 to about 1485. He is given the designation of the first English poet to use rhymed couplets in iambic pentameter and to compose successfully in the vernacular. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is a collection of humorous, bawdy, and poignant stories told by a group of fictional pilgrims traveling to the shrine of St. Thomas a Becket. It is considered to be among the masterpieces of literature. His works also include The Book of the Duchess, inspired by the death of John Gaunt's first wife; House of Fame, The Parliament of Fowls, and The Legend of Good Women. Troilus and Criseyde, adapted from a love story by Boccaccio, is one of his greatest poems apart from The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer died in London on October 25, 1400. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, in what is now called Poet's Corner. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

Chanticleer and the Fox: A Caldecott Award Winner by Geoffrey Chaucer
1959 Caldecott Medal Winner

Very cool medieval-style illustrations in this one. It says on one of the cover flaps that the illustrator studied illuminated manuscripts and borrowed some chickens in order to make these pictures. Nice! I'm still not sure how the illustrators make those solid colors--this one uses mostly blue, red, green, gold, and brown for the fox. The colors all look so solid that I'm not sure how they're done. I think the black is ink, though.

Pretty simple story lifted from Chaucer--Chanticleer the rooster gets caught by a flattering fox when he stops to sing for him. He learns his lesson and lives to tell about it. Love the scene with the widow and her daughters chasing after the fox with all of the other animals close behind.… (more)

The Canterbury Tales by Seymour Chwast
Marvellous introduction to the essential key tales told as a B&W graphic novel in modern English, including the story of the mechanical horse. Highly recommended.

Canterbury Tales by Barbara Cohen
Just four tales, told, as far as I can tell, rather faithfully. Each tale gets two full page illustrations, one for the teller and one for the tale. There is also a fine ensemble illustration, stretching across several pages, of all the travelers, and a large landscape populated with the pilgrims finally arriving, it appears, at Canterbury. Because it is Chaucer, the author has to make some delicate choices about what to omit or to elide in order to make it more or less suitable for children.
