Advantages: First rate entertainment Disadvantages: Not a single one!
I do not think that we laughed so much in ages! The animated CanterburyTales is a masterful and extremely well done re-telling of Geoffrey Chaucer's CanterburyTales.
The animation is better than first rate. The animations were undertaken by some of the top animators in Europe, made in Wales and Russia the production values were exceedingly good. It was almost possible to forget that they were animations, sometimes, the work was so exquisite.
The CanterburyTales were written by Geoffrey Chaucer who was a scholar, a gentleman, a diplomat and also something of a 14th century secret agent. The CanterburyTales was not entirely finished, but must be one of the most enduring pieces of fiction ever written in England.

Advantages: A true classic of the English language Disadvantages: In Middle English without translation, it can be difficult to read
In Chaucer's work, 'The CanterburyTales', perhaps the greatest of English literary works from the period of the language known as Middle English, there is one particular piece that have always stood out for me.
'A Clerk ther was of Oxenford also,'
This is perhaps my favourite character, as when I first read it, it seemed to epitomise what I hoped for in my own life.

Firstly, I’ll just make clear from the outset, that this op is on only one attraction in Canterbury, the CanterburyTales Visitor Attraction. I have given Ciao a few product suggestions of late, but was advised to write about the attraction under the category of the nearest town, since they only wanted the major cities (Edinburgh, London etc) to have subcategories of attractions and museums. I’ve just explained this so you don’t rate me as UH straight off for writing about only one aspect of this fabulous historical city – believe me, if I could write about everything that Canterbury had to offer, I would! I decided however that since this is one of my favourite places to visit whenever I return down south, it really was worthy of a mention in its own right.
