This is a story from the Canterbury Tales III: Modern Verse Translation collection.

Sir Charlie Stinky Socks's latest quest is to return a sack of stolen Egyptian gold back to its right owner, one Elfie Corrie. Join our hero and his faithful friends as their adventure leads them through the desert to a one-horse town and into a race against a not-too-friendly fellow.

So the brilliant Sir Charlie Stinky Socks, his cat Envelope and his good grey mare must find a ship so they can set sail and rescue the messenger. But, who needs their help, and what fearsome sea dangers and frightful pirates might they encounter on their voyage?

Magic and mischief are afoot as a dreadful spell is cast on the forest. But who can save them before the sands of time run out? Our pungent hero must face this new foe and break the spell before he's turned to stone.

Following a musty, dusty map, Sir Charlie Stinky Socks, his faithful cat Envelope, and—of course—his good grey mare, enter a scary underground world with all manner of tricks, traps, and medieval puzzles. But what has happened to Sir Charlie Stinky Socks? All of a sudden, our trusty hero can't get anything right. Has someone bewitched him? Or stolen his socks?
