   We had to read part of them in school.   
      
   They are very old and if you get one that is not translated from the Old   
   English it can be difficult to understand some of them.  My recollection is   
   that some of them are really funny and/or entertaining while others are not   
   so much.   
      
   If you have ever heard the song "A Whiter Shade of Pale," it references   
   "The Miller's Tale," which is probably one of the better known Caterbury   
   Tales.  It is a funny one, and was told at the expense of one of the other   
   travelers, who was formerly a carpenter.
