- The Canterbury tales / by Chaucer, Geoffrey,-1400.; Wright, David,1920-1994.;
Includes bibliographical references."Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales brings together an unforgettable group of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury, pilgrims who came from all ranks of society, from the crusading Knight and burly Miller to the worldly Monk and the famously lusty Wife of Bath. Their tales are as various as the tellers, including romance, bawdy comedy, beast fable, learned debate, parable, and Eastern adventure. The resulting collection gives us a set of characters so vivid that they have often been taken as portraits from real life, and a series of stories as hilarious in their comedy as they are affecting in their tragedy. Even after 600 years, their account of the human condition is fresh and true"--Publisher.- Subjects: Christian pilgrims and pilgrimages;

- The inquisitor's tale, or, The three magical children and their holy dog / by Gidwitz, Adam.; Aly, Hatem,illustrator.;
"1242. On a dark night, travelers from across France cross paths at an inn and begin to tell stories of three children. Their adventures take them on a chase through France: they are taken captive by knights, sit alongside a king, and save the land from a farting dragon. On the run to escape prejudice and persecution and save precious and holy texts from being burned, their quest drives them forward to a final showdown at Mont Saint-Michel, where all will come to question if these children can perform the miracles of saints. Join William, an oblate on a mission from his monastery; Jacob, a Jewish boy who has fled his burning village; and Jeanne, a peasant girl who hides her prophetic visions. They are accompanied by Jeanne's loyal greyhound, Gwenforte ... recently brought back from the dead. Told in multiple voices, in a style reminiscent of The Canterbury Tales, our narrator collects their stories and the saga of these three unlikely allies begins to come together. Beloved bestselling author Adam Gidwitz makes his long awaited return with his first new world since his hilarious and critically acclaimed Grimm series. Featuring manuscript illuminations throughout by illustrator Hatem Aly and filled with Adam's trademark style and humor, The Inquisitor's Tale is bold storytelling that's richly researched and adventure-packed."--Publisher's description.Includes bibliographical references (pages 355-363).Newbery Honor, 2017.Newbery Honor Book, 2017.Accelerated Reader AR-ATOSAccelerated ReaderAccelerated Reader ARReading Counts- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Action and adventure fiction.; Fantasy fiction.; Child oblates; Jews; Prophets; Persecution; Quests (Expeditions); Adventure stories.; Adventure and adventurers; Persecution; Friars; Jews; Prophets; Middle Ages;
