A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court : A Brilliant Blend of Science, Humor, and Medieval Mayhem from America's Great Satirist

What happens when a 19th-century engineer wakes up in Camelot? Pure, hilarious chaos.

In A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Mark Twain crafts a sharp-witted and genre-bending novel that sends a modern man back to the medieval world of knights, castles, and chivalry. Armed with Yankee ingenuity and a skeptical mind, Hank Morgan takes on superstition, royalty, and the Roman Catholic Church in a battle of wits and technology.

Beneath the humor and absurdity, Twain delivers a scathing satire on power, progress, and the myth of noble tradition—making this one of his most daring and forward-thinking works.

This edition includes period illustrations and helpful annotations, making it perfect for Twain fans, students, and readers of speculative satire.
