Canterbury Tales
Late 14th‐cent. unfinished masterpiece byChaucer. The General Prologue presents portraits of diverse pilgrims congregated at the Tabard inn (Southwark), including a battle‐worn Knight, sweetly pretentious Prioress, and emaciated scholar‐Clerk. They lighten the journey to Thomas Beckt´s shrine at Canterbury by exchanging twenty‐four tales, which range from high romance set in ancient Greece (Knight) to low comedy in contemporary England .

I think the prologue offer to us a brief description of each pilgrim,,.the tales themselves are largely told in the words of the tellers and we can interpretate these as an own stories...
For me was a really interesting oppportunity to read this English author Geoffrey Chaucer who was one of the greatest poets of the late Middle Ages and has often been called the father of English poetry.
