History

Our Latest Photo Winner!

Just like her predecessor, this photographer is inspired by great literature. Geoffrey Chaucer, the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages, replaces Charlotte Bronte as muse–and the results are just as lovely.

Subscriber Nancy Leek on her picture: “Seeing Canterbury has been a goal of mine ever since reading Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales 40 years ago. We visited in April 2015, and I took this picture of the west tower of Canterbury Cathedral framed by a tree in bloom as we walked from our inn to the cathedral. Later, we visited Greyfriars Chapel, with the River Stour flowing beneath it, just as it did in Chaucer’s day.”
