Accompany a band of merry medieval pilgrims as they make their way - on motorcycles, of course - to Canterbury. Meeting at the Tabard Inn, the travellers, including a battle-worn Knight, sweetly pretentious Prioress, the bawdy Wife of Bath and emaciated scholar-Clerk, come up with a plan to pass time on the journey to Thomas a Becket's shrine by telling stories. The twenty-four tales, which range from high romance set in ancient Greece to low comedy in contemporary England, are adapted by Chwast in a pitch-perfect rendering of Chaucer's pointed satire.
