Classics Illustrated 024 A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Bicycles and baseball meet the Knights of the Round Table in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. In Mark Twain’s brilliant satire on the Victorian sentimental obsession with All Things Medieval, Hank Morgan, a practical Connecticut Yankee, travels in time to Camelot—thanks to a blow to his head—and turns 6th-century England into a parody of 19th-century industrial America. As “Sir Boss,” Morgan introduces newspapers, electricity, and, in the end, modern warfare.
