Medici 1930. Re-told from classic 24 short stories from 29 pilgrims going to Canterbury, plus their tavern host who promises to judge the winning story, others to contribute cost to meal for winner. First prologue sets mild April scene and merry rich cast; each story has prologue from whoever tells, influenced by conflicts, between miller and reeve, friar and summoner. Christian orientation - miracles instead of magic. Everyone is magnificent, the best dressed, the sweetest tempered, the wealthiest supplies, the finest of everything. Tapestry-like colorful black-outlined people, vivid colored costumes against washed out background fields and trees.
