The Brubury Tales (Illustrated Edition)

The Brubury Tales is a contemporary, rhyming verse adaptation of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales set in post-riot Los Angeles, where seven security guards tell stories during a tense graveyard shift in pursuit of a Christmas vacation prize. Blending classic literary influences with gritty modern themes, the book offers vivid characters and accessible language that make medieval storytelling relevant today. Featuring original artwork and a foreword by Carolyn See, it serves as both an engaging read and a useful educational tool for exploring themes of community, justice, and storytelling across eras. This award-winning, illustrated edition invites listeners and readers alike to experience the enduring power of stories in a fresh, timeless way.
