The brief biography of the writer, Geoffrey Chaucer, otherwise known as the Father of English literature was interesting. As a Cantonese speaker, I once had a silly little misconception that English literature means all kinds of literature that's in English, and totally forgot that they are also the literature of the country England. Somehow when I was going through the lines of Chaucer's biography I thought about this and it made me laugh. :D

We started reading the Prologue of The Canterbury Tales but only got to about 2 or 3 pages. By far we learnt about the Knight, his son the Squire, his servant the Yeoman and the Nun.
