The books: A complete set of three volumes of "The Romaunt of the Rose, Troilus and Creseides and the Minor Poems" by Geoffrey Chaucer, with the life of the poet by Harris Nicolas, published in 1846 by William Pickering, London. This edition offers a comprehensive collection of Chaucer's lesser-known works alongside his more famous narratives, all elegantly bound in contemporary half-morocco leather. The set is a valuable piece for collectors, showcasing the breadth of Chaucer's poetic genius.

The story content of these volumes includes "The Romaunt of the Rose," a partial translation of a French allegorical poem, "Troilus and Creseide," a tragic love story set against the backdrop of the Trojan War, and a selection of Chaucer's minor poems. These works reflect the depth and variety of Chaucer's writing, ranging from romantic and tragic themes to moral and philosophical reflections.

The author: Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343–1400) is widely considered the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages and is often called the father of English literature. His most famous work, "The Canterbury Tales," is celebrated for its rich depiction of medieval life and its varied cast of characters. Chaucer's work is notable for its use of Middle English and its contribution to the development of the English literary tradition.
