"What think you of my new wife's beauty?"





In another early volume of Anne Anderson's illustrations, the viewer is once more transported, this time into the world of three of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales as retold by Emily Underdown, who also wrote under the name Chester Norley.

Please see my companion post, Aucassin and Nicolete, for another of Anne Anderson's early published work, where you will also find a brief biography and additional links.
