There's a breadth of styles in here which lends itself to some really interesting reworking of Chaucer's tales. As somewhat expected, they didnt all hit for me, but I'd be really interested to revisit this again once I've read a few more of the originals to appreciate what Agbabi is doing better!

4.5/5*
Overall really liked it but can't give full 5 stars cause it's a collection and not every poem was equally good.
