The General Prologue and Frame Story is the beginning part of Geoffrey Chaucer's Centerbury Tales, written in the 14th century. The prologue begins by praising the spring and the reawakening of life, explaining that this is the time when people go on religious pilgrimages to the shrine of Saint Thomas Beckett. Chaucer describes the other pilgrims who come from many walks of life: a knight, a nun, a merchant, a miller and many others. In the end, they decide to have a story-telling competition throughout their pilgrimage.
