The Parliament of Fowls

Chaucer's Parliament of Fowls in feathered detail

About this puzzle

The Old English poet Geoffrey Chaucer penned the timeless masterpiece, 'The Parliament of Fowls' (also known as 'The Assembly of Fowls'), a work of literary brilliance that emerged between 1375 and 1380. Some scholars speculate that this poetic gem might have been crafted to honor the union of Richard II and Anne of Bohemia in 1382. The poem narrates the story of a dream vision in 699 lines and tells of a beautiful garden where all the birds of the air come together to find a mate on St Valentine's Day.
