New Canterbury Tales is a collection of short stories written by Maurice Hewlett. The book is inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and contains a series of tales told by a group of travelers on their way to Canterbury. However, unlike Chaucer's tales, Hewlett's stories are set in the late 19th and early 20th century and reflect the social and cultural issues of the time. The tales are diverse in their themes and characters, ranging from humorous to tragic. Some of the stories are based on historical events, while others are purely fictional. The book is a tribute to Chaucer's work and a reflection of the changing times in which it was written. It is a must-read for those who enjoy classic literature and are interested in exploring the evolution of storytelling over the centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
