The Ribald Tales Of Canterbury 1985 Classic Full __full__ May 2026
The Ribald Tales of Canterbury (1985) is one of the most fascinating artifacts from the twilight of the "Golden Age of Porn". Directed by Bud Lee and written by and starring adult film icon Hyapatia Lee, the film attempts a wildly ambitious crossover: merging the bawdy, satirical structure of Geoffrey Chaucer’s 14th-century literary classic with the explicit, high-budget adult filmmaking of the mid-1980s.
- Literary Mashup: Proof that even classic literature can be sexy.
- Historical Fashion: Surprisingly accurate (if scant) reproduction of 14th-century undergarments.
- Quoteability: Lines like "That’s not a reliquary, good sir—that’s my lunch" have become underground catchphrases.

Which are Jenna’s books that she recommends are mysteries?
Hi GlamKaren, That’s a great question! Jenna tends to select more character driven books than plot driven, but two books that would fall under the mystery category are: The Turnout by Megan Abbott and The Cloisters by Katy Hays.
