Chaucer, Geoffrey. Canterbury tales, prologue and selections: rewritten in simple language by Calvin Dill Wilson, and decorated by Ralph Fletcher Seymour. *$1. McClurg.
In retelling old tales for young readers, Mr. Wilson aims to preserve in his prose rendering the literary no less than the poetic and artistic qualities of the original. This Chaucer is a charming volume which is uniform with Mr. Wilson’s retold “Faery queen.”
