The Parliament of Fowls: In a Modern English Verse Translation

When I studied medieval literature at university, the Parliament of Fowls was one of my favourites. It is utterly charming, and much shorter than many of the texts we studied, so it stuck in my mind as a perfect little gem.
Simon Webb has kept all the beauty and charm of the original while producing an accurate and very readable translation. There is a useful glossary at the end, and an interesting foreword considering the poem's association with St Valentine.
