Explanation:

"The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of 24 tales in Middle English, written by Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400). Majority of the tales are in verse form. The tales are narrated by a group of pilgrims who come from various social classes of the society. The pilgrims are on the way to visit the shrine of Saint of Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. A story telling competition is held among the pilgrims with a free meal at Tabard Inn Southwark for the winner as a prize.
