In The Canterbury Tales Geoffrey Chaucer takes us back to life at the end of the 14th century. A group of pilgrims meet at the Tabard Inn and set out on a pilgrimage from London to Canterbury to pay homage to the sacred shrine of Thomas Becket. In order to pass the time during their journey, each pilgrim tells a story and this is how the various characters come to life. The tales of love, honour, honesty and betrayal are still relevant to today’s society.
