Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

This picture book children's version of the Nun's Priest's Tale was both adapted and illustrated by Ward.  Her images focus heavily on the animal characters of the tale, rather than depictions of the farm as setting.  The fox pushing through the hedge, for example, takes up a double page, with only two sentences of the tale on the page.  Another particularly notable image depicts all the birds and dogs of the farm staring off the right-hand side of the page, where a few of Chanticleer's feathers and a path of dust appear.
