Canterbury Tales

A few weeks ago we found a retelling of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in the kid's section of the library. Never having read the original, I can't speak to the quality of the retelling, but the were a fun read anyway. I may have to find a copy of the real Tales and muddle through the Middle English to satisfy my curiosity.

Good Knight

We had one of these out from the library a while back (Take Care, Good Night) and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a whole bunch of stuff on hold, so we didn't check out any of the others right away. However, with working on getting the kids outfitted in medieval dress-up, I was looking for some knight books and ran across these again. We have Happy Birthday, Good Knight, Get Well, Good Knight, and Take Care, Good Knight out from the library right now and Good Night, Good Knight is on hold. Cute pictures, fun stories...what's not to love?
