One Hundred Merrie and Delightsome Stories is an English translation of the fifteenth-century French collection Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles, a treasure of medieval comic and satirical fiction. The tales are bawdy, witty, and often surprisingly modern in their humor, drawing on the same tradition that inspired Boccaccio and Chaucer.
