Fabliaux

  1. Le Chevalier Qui Fist parler les Cons
    "Le Chevalier Qui Fist parler les Cons" is the only truly successful English translation of a fabliaux. This masterful translation comes from Robert Hellman and Richard O'Gorman's Fabliaux: Ribald Tales from the Old French, 1965. The translated title is "The Knight Who Made Cunts and Assholes Speak." It is a delightful bawdy tale.
