Mark Twain

One of the greatest satires in American literature, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court begins when Hank Morgan, a skilled mechanic in a nineteenth-century New England arms factory, is struck on the head during a quarrel and awakens to find himself among the knights and magicians of King Arthur's Camelot.

Follows the mischievous Tom Sawyer as he scams his friends, cleverly manipulates his overbearing Aunt Polly, witnesses a murder, fakes his own death, and falls in love with a girl named Becky.
