description: Chaucer the Cat and the Animal Pilgrims follows a group of animals as they make their way across Europe to visit the town of their patron saint, St. Francis of Assisi. But the journey is long and hard, so each night the animals take turns telling a story to cheer themselves along. Every story told reveals something of the nature of the beast—of the wily, clever, loyal, intrepid, and inventive nature of animals. The stories, like the animals, come from all over the world, and each tale is written with a clarity that ensures they are perfect for reading aloud or alone. Capturing the essence of this splendid narrative are Giles Greenfield’s exceptionally beautiful watercolors.
