After being disappointed in Chwast's Dante's Divine Comedy, I decided to give him another chance with Canterbury Tales. I found this one amusing. It has the characters from the original along with their stories illustrated in Chwast's quirky pen & ink style. The pilgrims heading to Canterbury are riding motorcycles but their clothing, with the exception of the Wife of Bath are fairly traditional Medieval costumes. Each of the tales are abbreviated and there is no skimping on the bawdy parts. I enjoyed this one more than the Dante.
