Sorry about below if it  seems messy, I was fixing how it went and, well, things got complicated. Anyway, I have been reading it for my literature in school, and it has a lot of stories counting the Canterbury tales alone! And I  rate it four stars because of the good quality of the stories, how nice and long they are so you don't finish the stories quickly. The only thing I don't like is how the words are sometimes hard to decipher when it is written in old Irish. The Canteburry tales are an example of this.
