N2  - More than 800 years ago, the Archbishop of Canterbury was murdered by King Henry II's knights. Before Becket's blood had dried on the Cathedral floor, the miracles began. The number of pilgrims visiting his shrine in the Middle Ages was so massive that the stone floor wore thin. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, one of the most enduring works of English literature, is a bigger-than-life drama based on the experience of the medieval pilgrim on the 60-mile path, known as the Pilgrim's Way. This is Jerry Ellis's moving and fascinating account of his own modern pilgrimage. Filled with details about medieval life, Ellis's tale juxtaposes the contemporary world he passes through with the history peeking out from behind. Carrying everything he needs on his back, Ellis stops at taverns for food and shelter and trades tales with the captivating people he meets along the way, just as the pilgrims would have done. Embarking on a journey that is spiritual and historical, Ellis reveals the wonders of an ancient trek through modern England.--From publisher description.
