This work consists of a series of stories inside a larger frame story, the former being told in the style of ""The Canterbury Tales"" by Geoffrey Chaucer and the latter as a dialogue between an older man and his grandson. The stories themselves, included in the fictional title ""The Castlebury Tales"", each exemplify a value/ key lesson learned in my life as formulated through reflection.

The Castlebury Tales are read by an older character to a much younger character. The younger character (the ""grandson"") exemplifies a more curious, innocent version of myself while the older character (the ""grandfather"") represents one who spends time reflecting on his life. A series of key themes unfolds throughout the pages that portrays key learnings throughout my life.
