Ten Summoner's Tales
Ten Summoner's Tales is the fourth solo studio album by the English rock musician Sting. The title is a combined pun of his family name, Sumner, and a character in Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales", the summoner. Released in 1993, it explores themes of love and morality in a noticeably upbeat mood compared to his previous release, the introspective "The Soul Cages" released in 1991 after the loss of both his parents in the 1980s.
