About this book

"This story opens at Malvern Priory, where William Langland meets a young Chaucer and sets out to see the world. After some years we find him living in Cornhill with his wife and his little girl Calote. The vision of Piers Plowman links him to Wat Tyler, Jack Straw, and the Peasant Rising. His daughter wins the heart of Richard II's squire, and goes through England with a message from the king. The whole course of the Peasant Rising is sketched, and at last the squire weds Calote and turns shepherd in the north."--London Quarterly Review, April 1904.
