5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, September 9, 2011
Purchased the dvds when I was taking English lit. (At the time we had just finished reading Beowulf)
I got a deeper understanding of the Canterbury Tales and did well on the exams.

This is a rare find in that there are not many dvds that cover this classic masterpiece!

Tales of people contemporary are based on a classic work published centuries ago.

Also clothes and appliances had changed dramatically upon centuries, a human nature is still the same.
