About this book
The contents list gives the chapters “THE PILGRIM'S APPROACH TO THE CITY”, “THE STORY OF CANTERBURY”, “THE CATHEDRAL” and “THE CITY”. A verse printed under the name “CHAUCER: Canterbury Tales” reads “Of Engéland, to Canterbury they wend, The holy, blissful martyr for to seek”. The text says that “this little book is itself a souvenir for the pilgrim to carry away as evidence of the journey he has made”.
The text says the lukewarm pilgrim “will add vastly to the richness of his impressions if he deserts his train at Selling or Chartham and walks the rest of the way over Harbledown”. The text reports that “The fire came” and “the choir was to a great extent rebuilt”, and that “the monastery decided to employ William of Sens as architect for the reconstruction”. The text says that “There still remain to be seen the Castle, the walls, the old inns, the many interesting examples of early domestic architecture”.
