Chaucer for children? That is why we purchased this book at the recommendation of our homeschool curriculum. This book contains four of the tales, with their prologues and introductory material. The stories are: 
 * The Nun's Priest's Tale 
 * The Pardoner's Tale 
 * The Wife of Bath's Tale 
 * The Franklin's Prologue 
 The idea of teaching these stories at the dialectic (junior high) level intrigued me. My (admittedly limited) exposure to Chaucer had inclined me to see his admirable writing as full of mature themes. Satire, irony, and innuendo clothe a discerning criticism of society, class, faith and church. 
 Cohen's adaptation successfully captures Chaucer, and reveals I do remember some things accurately (oh, joyful encouragement!). Beautiful period illustrations complement the text. 
 However, even with the guidance of our home school curriculum, I just could not find our dialectic students ready for the material. We are in the early side of dialectic, maybe later junior high or high school? I suspect they might prefer a text with an increased number of the Tales, and these adolescent readers are sensitive about the large book format. To an adult, it says "coffee table", but to a teen it says "juvenile". Myself being of the adult persuasion, I found Cohen's effort a wonderful refresher in Chaucer. A palatable read to enjoy with a nice, hot drink. It's a lovely book that simply didn't work for our purposes, which is probably more the fault of the home school curriculum (who I generally adore). 
 Therein lies the quandary. What is the market? The serious student of Chaucer will want more Tales, regardless of the lovely presentation, and the introductory student, likely to appreciate the period illustration, will require less of the mature themes. But if you want a gorgeous presentation of a few Tales to enjoy occasionally, or impress your literary friends, this may be the perfect version for you!
