Geoffrey Chaucer was an English poet, author, and civil servant best known for The Canterbury Tales. He has been called the "Father of English Literature", or, alternatively, the "Father of English Poetry". He was the first writer to be buried in what has since come to be called Poets' Corner, in Westminster Abbey.

Walter William Skeat, FBA (1835 – 1912) was a British philologist and Anglican deacon. The pre-eminent British philologist of his time, he was instrumental in developing the English language as a higher education subject in the United Kingdom.

Very Good: Describes a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes the average used book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Fair: Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects should be noted.

Poor: Describes a book that is sufficiently worn. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.
