Fireside Book of Christmas Stories von Edward Wagenknecht
I own a copy of this book that belonged to my mother. It has been read so many times it is beginning to fall apart, but I love reading it over and over again, carefully.
Even a small book can pack a big punch.
This is a fairly thin volume, but it includes many extremely important essays in Chaucer criticism. There is a bit of a checklist feeling to the result ("We need one essay on the Pardoner's Tale, one on the Wife's Tale, one on the Knight's Tale..."), which may be a little unbalanced -- but there is obviously a lot to be said for a single book which gives access to the single most influential writing on each of Chaucer's major works.
The material is from the mid-twentieth century and earlier, so some of it is perhaps a little out of date. But there is value in almost all of it, as long as you're willing to accept it as provisional. There are books with newer insights. There are very few with more insights.… (mehr)

Unfortunately my copy was mis-manufactured and is missing several pages.
