"The Father of English Poetry" - John Dryden
Born c1343 Geoffrey Chaucer was a courtier, diplomat and civil servant; but also a writer patronised and provided with a pension by the King. He died in 1400 and became, after his remains were later moved, the first writer buried in Poets Corner, Westminster.
Chaucer was a prolific writer and translator; best-known in modern times for his Canterbury Tales, this Pocket Book recounts The Reeve's Tale, faithfully printed in the vernacular of the age.

Publication Essentials
Pocket-sized at 13 x 9.5cm (5 x 3.5" in old money) and comprising 16 pages with a firm card cover. This little volume is just one in the series of Carr's Pocket Books; they hover between a greeting and a present and make a lasting alternative to a birthday card. In cold bedrooms, only one hand need suffer exposure. A distinguished novelist recommends them for reading in the bath and an ambassador claims they can be palmed from the cuff during tedious speeches or profitless sermons.Delivery Information
