The novel 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' can rightfully be placed on a par with the best works of the classic American and world literary figure Mark Twain – 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,' 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,' and 'The Prince and the Pauper.' The book's protagonist, a young contemporary and compatriot of the author, awakens after a brawl to find himself in England during the time of chivalry, when the country was ruled by the legendary King Arthur – and immediately begins introducing its inhabitants to the benefits of advanced American civilization of the late 19th century. This unusual book ingeniously combines fantasy, history, and Twain's cheerful humor.
