Summary
A Yankee in Camelot: Modern Wit vs. Medieval Might
When a blow to the head sends Hank Morgan, a 19th-century mechanic, spiraling back in time, he finds himself face-to-face with King Arthur and his court.
Initially a confused prisoner, Hank quickly grasps the power his “magical” knowledge of the future holds. By correctly predicting a solar eclipse, he ascends from captive to Merlin’s rival, a trusted advisor to the King, and the most powerful “magician” in the realm.

About The Author
Mark Twain
Mark Twain (Author)
Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835, Mark Twain spent his youth in Hannibal, Missouri, which forms the setting for his two greatest works, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Trying his hand at printing, typesetting and then gold-mining, the former steam-boat pilot eventually found his calling in journalism and travel writing. Dubbed ‘the father of American literature’ by William Faulkner, Twain died in 1910 after a colourful life of travelling, bankruptcy and great literary success.
