Becket`s Blood!
 
   
   
 
The
Tales
 
   
The home of English pilgrimage
. . . and Canterbury Tales
   
 
  
 
   
 Oh, what fun Chaucer had with this one! A golden (golden-brown?) opportunity to
 use his summoner to rail against the greed of the church, with no fear of recrimination.
 Many examples are given, even down to how the clergy might share a . . . bit of wind?
 
Our artist, Mozley, also had lots of fun, but to share that, you need the full tale . . .
