Other selections include The Story of My Misfortunes by Peter Abelard; Medieval Lays and Legends of Marie de France; The Lady of the Fountain and The Dream of Rhonabwy from Lady Charlotte E. Guest's The Mabinogion; three stories from Boccaccio's Decameron; The Reeve's Tale, The Cook's Tale, and The Lawyer's Tale from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales; Book One of Thomas a Kempis's The Imitation of Christ; and the anonymous 15-century morality play Everyman.
