The more things change, the more they stay the same. When Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Prologue to The Canterbury Tales during the 14th Century, he created portraits of characters who are as alive today as they were in the days when knights rode in tournaments and fair maidens granted merci to lovers who pined away for them. Indeed, we chuckle as we read about the Wife of Bath, the Lawyer, the Miller, and the other Canterbury pilgrims whose foibles and weaknesses were no different from those we see in modern men and women.
In The Prologue to The Pokerbury Tales you will meet twenty-nine modern travelers who, like Chaucer’s pilgrims, agree to tell stories as they travel toward Pokerbury where they plan to gamble and win money. In this work you’ll meet such fascinating “pilgrims” as the Movie Star, the Psychiatrist, the Widow, and many more. Read on to discover more about these people, their lives, their loves, and the impact they have on other contemporary characters.
