I liked his Poor Chaucer's Almanac and the folksy wisdome therein like: "Aprille shoures bringen Maie floures."

Upon following this account, I would like to remind everyone that a science fiction novel from the 1990s modeled itself at least in part on the Canterbury tales. That was Hyperion by Dan Simmons. He clearly identified each character through the book with repeated catchphrases.
