About this book

A key gives this retelling its name, as the notes on the cover drawing explain: five arches show scenes from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, among them Palamon and Arcite, Aurelius and Dorigen, the Summoner, the three rioters and Griselda. Mrs. Haweis prepared the book to open Chaucer's work to young readers, with maps and illustrations. The pages also advertise her Chaucer for Schools, which adds notes and a modern English version beside the original poetry.
