«Cuentos de Canterbury» is the collection of medieval tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, published in 1991 by Libros Tobal in paperback (633 pages, in Spanish).
A group of pilgrims heads to Canterbury and, to liven up the journey, each one tells a story before the rest, summoned by the innkeeper. Knights, millers, merchants, clerics and women of different conditions tell chivalric, popular and satirical tales that portray English society of the fourteenth century.
