@ Yes Lighter. I read 'La Peste' when we did A Level French, and I still have a copy. Might look at it again!
I don't know if anybody else has been to Eyam in Derbyshire, the so-called 'Plague Village'?
I once went to Wetton Mill in Derbyshire and the folk there believed that Gawain and the Green Knight was set in Thor's Cave. Not sure if that theory survives!
The problem with my copy of The Decameron is that the print is too small and just at the moment I'm regretting not having gone to get new specs when they started sending me reminders! Not the time now.
Terry Jones did some re-tellings of stories on BBC Radio. I think these are still available online.
