A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Gillian Rose

Honestly, very boring! I really had no clue what was going on. There was no wit that I'm used to with Twain. Disappointed!

Featuring a new introduction and afterword, this classic social satire follows Yankee Hank Morgan after a blow to the head in nineteenth-century Connecticut transports him to 528 A.D., where he proceeds to modernize King Arthur's kingdom. Reprint.

Since my first experience with Mark Twain I always look forward to read another of his books (especially listen to the Librivox narration by John Greenman). I can’t be entirely sure if it is the narrator of the author who makes me chuckle occasionally; I’m convinced it is a combination of the two.
I wasn’t disappointed by “A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”. The book tells the story of an American from Mark Twain’s time who one day woke up in 6th century England, among King Arthur’s knights. He doesn’t believe it at first, but soon has to accept that he is stranded in the far past and has to cope with it. His adventures are simply hilarious. They include a confrontation with the famous Merlin, a stroll through the country with King Arthur (disguised as a peasant) meeting his lowly subjects and taking on an army of several thousand knights with a force of … 45 men. Of course some of his future knowledge helps our hero in his adventures.
This story is not to be taken too seriously. But if you enjoy a chuckle now and then I’d certainly recommend it.
