Candide is the most famous of Voltaire’s ‘philosophical tales’, in which he combined witty improbabilities with the sanest of good sense. This edition includes four other prose tales – Micromegas, Zadig, The Ingnu, and The White Bull – and a verse tale based on Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath’s Tale,: What Pleases the Ladies.
