Synopsis:

The tales shown on the DVD are: The Squire's tale, the Cannon's Servant's tale, the Miller's tale, The Reeve's tale, The Nun's Priest's tale, The Knight's tale, The Wife of Bath's tale, The Merchant's Tale, The Pardoner's tale and the Franklin's tale.

All are extremely entertaining. Some are amusing, some are moving, and some are both amusing and moving. There are tales of chivalrous Knights, of chivalrous alchemists, of drunken students and of fast friends who become dangerous and deadly foes.

The characters of the pilgrims who were taking part in the pilgrimage form London to Thomas a Becket's shrine in Canterbury really come to life, especially through the medium of this DVD.

The characters are in turns venal, crass, rude, diplomatic, churlish, bombastic, chivalrous, angry and friendly as they each tell their own tales on the long trek that made up the pilgrimage.

Animated adaptation of Geoffrey Chaucer's classic collection. Features ten tales, including: 'The Squire's Tale', 'The Miller's Tale', 'The Knight's Tale', 'The Wife Of Bath's Tale', 'The Merchant's Tale' and 'The Franklin's Tale'.
