Book Description
In this biting satire by Twain, a 19th c. Yankee mechanic is knocked out during a brawl, and wakes to find himself in Camelot, A.D. 528, in King Arthur's Court. When the modern mechanic tries to cure society's ills (oppressed peasantry, evil church, etc.) with 19th c. industrial inventions like electricity and gunfire - all hell breaks loose!

10/4/2007 Cindy Lovell said: Brilliance! A favorite of mine, and a favorite of gifted students. When you read it, you might think you're watching the Daily Show or the Colbert Report. Twain wrote this one "with a pen warmed up in hell." There are great lesson plans on the Mark Twain Museum website to go with this book.
