The Canterbury Tales
1998 (First Thus - translation only).
The Folio Society
, London, England
The first Folio Society edition of David Wright's famous translation was published as a parallel text with the original Middle English text in three volumes in 1986 and this is a new edition of the translation only. Probably more serviceable than the enormous number of decorative editions in existence from numerous publishers, it is nevertheless a very attractive presentation in perfect condition that is likely never opened previously.
