Tales of the Canterbury Pilgrims; retold from
Chaucer and others by F.J. Harvey Darton.
This is the most attractive and complete edition of the
Chaucer stories for children. The text is freely rendered and
the author has rearranged the stories in groups. The book is
charmingly illustrated by Hugh Thomson.
Stories from Chaucer retold from the Canterbury tales by J.W. McSpadden.
An excellent rendition of the Chaucer stories. The author has
followed closely Chaucer's lines and in many places has
included the original verse. This version will be found
helpful in the preparation of the ten stories that it
contains.
Canterbury chimes; or Chaucer tales retold for children by F. Storr and H. Turner.
This collection gives the Prologue and six of the pilgrims'
stories. It follows closely the original verse, but is not as
attractive as the McSpadden version, although the two are
similar.
The Chaucer story book by Eva March Tappan.
Includes eleven stories freely told and simplified. On this
account may be used for younger children. Some of the
atmosphere of Chaucer's original tales is lost but the plots
are made very clear, which is an aid in the preparation of
the stories.
