Having decided to reread The Canterbury Tales after many years and having a paperback of the poem in original spelling, I thought I would download this to my Kindle to have as a side-dish as it were to see me through more difficult passages. I find it useless for my purposes. The "original" text in plain font here (the so-called plain English translations being in italic) is a mixture of original and updating of words to make them easier to understand. This may be useful but means one is not actually presented with the original beside a translation, but a kind of hybrid modernisation text with enough of the antique to give it "flavour". And it can't be trusted to be exact.From the prologue for instance my paperback Laurel Poetry Series version of the original hasBifel that in that season on a dayIn Southwerk at the Taberd as I layRedy to wenden on my pilgrimageTo Caunterbury with ful devout corageAt night was come in-to that hostelryeWel nyne and twentye in a companyeOf sondry folke by aventure y-falleIn felawshipe and pilgrims wer they alleThat towards Cauntebury woulden ryde;The "original" in this kindle version becomesBefell that season on a dayIn Southwark at the Tabard as I layReady to wenden on my pilgrimageTo Canterbury with devout corageAt night was come into that hostelryWell nine and twenty in a companyOf sundry folk, by aventure y-fall who had by chance fallenIn fellowship, and pilgrims were they all, into company.That toward Canterbury would ride.What is a phrase glossing the meaning of "aventure -y-fall" is as shown put in as if part of the text, causing a mess. The "translation" proper that follows reduces what is in fact a quite unambiguous piece of verse anyhow toNow it happened that one day in that seasonAs I stayed at the Tabard in SouthwarkReady to go on my pilgrimageTo Canterbury in great high spiritsAt night there came into that innA group of twenty-nineDiverse people, who had by chanceFallen in with each other, and they were all pilgrims,That wanted to ride to Canterbury.So, "the story" if that's what you want in "plain English".Not a full translation with details missed and a generalised free verse simply giving the impression of full verse translation without it being such.The quotes should help people make up their own mind, and some mightn't see any problem. My own copy though is deleted from my Kindle as it annoys me in its unreliability of text and rewriting of "translation" in sections where original passages have a meaning that is perfectly clear and better put in the poetry itself.I will look elsewhere for a translation for my purposes.

I have loved Chaucer's work since my days at Grammar School in the 1940's and 1950's and this edition affords my return to the world of"Middle English.". There are good translations available to read alongside if this is necessary and in particular I would recommend that of NevillCoghill written when at Exeter College, Oxford. I am continuing to make my way alone currently and enjoying every minute of this serious but veryentertaining work of life in the period in which Chaucer lived and wrote. The characters come to life very readily and the "tales" they tell are really quite something ! I recommend it highly and wish you good luck along your pilgrimage from London to Canterbury.

This is my first reading of the Canterbury tales and I largely found it enjoyable. This book contains all of the tales in Modern English.My reason for not giving five stars is that the explanatory notes are not numbered within the tales, they are just marked with an asterisk; consequently, it is more time consuming to look up the notes than it needs to be. I find this error very surprising as it's not one error in the book, it's nearly 500 errors (or opportunities to spot the errors). Also several of the points marked with an asterisk are not even in the explanatory notes.
