Okay, my Z post is a highlight of all my post...Chaucer from A-Z. Whew! I made it! Before I finish with my last post I wanted to give you a brief background into the versions that I read of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. There are different translations, versions etc... but I thought It was important to share with you the version that allowed me to really enjoy these tales.The version I read was Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales from the Modern Library ,Random House, Inc. (2008). In addition, I referenced various lines from the tales from Canterburytales.org. That particular website has both middle english and modern english versions. And don't forget about the mobile apps I featured. Like I said, those let you can take Chaucer on the go!
Now onto the A-Z overview! Our resident host, Harry Bailey, who helped kick-start the tales. Funny how the host didn't contribute his own tale, but sure knew how to critique them, huh? If you missed general prologue or introduction of Harry Bailey, check out my post here!
Remember, the winner of the tale telling was set to win a free meal-- or something like that. And now...of all the tales I've blogged about...which was on your favorite?

Great recap off all the wonderful characters you taught me about!
Huzzah! We survived!
:D
These were great! I didn't get to them all, but having had a skim through, I would plump for the Wife of Bath. :)
Nice recap! Congrats on finishing the challenge!
You found a tale for every letter - well done!
Congratulations on finishing. Despite the appeal, I don't think I'll be taking up Chaucer anytime soon.
This has been a great theme. It's been so much fun going over all of Chaucer's best tales. I forgot how many wonderful ones there were.
awesome recap and i love all those characters!

Congrats on finishing the challenge! I think my favorite was The Miller's Tale.
The Miller's Tale is one of my favorites and your theme was one of my favorites as well. Congratulations on finishing the A-Z, Mina!
Congrats on crossing the finishing line, Mina!
I didn't get a chance to read through all the tales... lack of time and energy didn't allow for it...

Hi Mina,
Okay, I wasn't here for everyone of your submissions and thus, based on what I did manage to read, I cannot say which one I preferred. What I do know is that all that I read was informative and eloquent.
Thank goodness this challenge is over.
