A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Mark Twain, L. Carr

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

eBook (Heritage Illustrated Publishing May 14, 2014)
* Beautifully illustrated with delightful sketches from early editions, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is the wonderfully written tale of an engineer from Connecticut who is accidentally transported back in time to the court of King Arthur, where he fools the inhabitants of that time into thinking he is a magician by using his knowledge of modern technology to become a "magician" in earnest. He stuns the English of the Early Middle Ages with such feats as demolitions, fireworks and the shoring up of a holy well.

* Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's readers as it would have been when first published, the novel is one of the great works of American literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.

* This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is enhanced with images carefully selected by our team of professional editors.
