The Red Canary: The Story Of The First Genetically Engineered Animal by T. R. Birkhead is available at Global Books.

In this atmospheric biography, Ackroyd brings the same historical depth to the life of Geoffrey Chaucer as he famously did for the city of London. He paints a vivid portrait of the "Father of English Literature" not just as a poet, but as a busy diplomat, courtier, and civil servant navigating the treacherous political waters of the 14th century.

The book explores how Chaucer’s experiences in the bustling, plague-ridden streets of medieval London and the royal courts of Edward III and Richard II shaped the diverse voices found in The Canterbury Tales. Ackroyd masterfully reconstructs the sights, sounds, and smells of the Middle Ages, placing the reader directly into the world that birthed the English poetic tradition.
