There's a Reason some books are Literature!
A Victorian era New England male gets trapped in Fourth Century England, specifically in Camelot, where he uses his wits and knowledge of the future for survival. This novel is a classic, yes because its written by Mr Clemons, I mean Twain haha. It is satire at its finest though, much in the mold of Gulliver's Travels. It is in fact really difficult to review because...

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain has that knightly quality about it. If you are into knights, wizards and ladies in distress then this the book for you. In this book you meet many knights in shining armor including the ever charming Sir Launcelot. Along with knights you will meet not only Merlin but someone who can best him more than once. and let's not forget the ladies in distress, let's just say the one you will meet will steal your heart away. I recommend this book because it is an enlightenment to those of us who have it pretty easy. It is worth your time and your imagation.

There's a Reason some books are Literature!,

This review is from: Mark Twains a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (Paperback)
A Victorian era New England male gets trapped in Fourth Century England, specifically in Camelot, where he uses his wits and knowledge of the future for survival.This novel is a classic, yes because its written by Mr Clemons, I mean Twain haha. It is satire at its finest though, much in the mold of Gulliver's Travels. It is in fact really difficult to review because it is in fact literature and as such how does a 21st Amazon reviewer critique a great work, that loses none of its charm through the centuries that friends is even a greater challenge as being strange man in strange land (time even) as Twain's hero was stuck in Arthurian England. It is basically a brilliant retelling of the Arthurian legend by an American no less just to further amplify Twain's mastery of his craft he uses the language as magically in Merlin in this tale. Too verboise a review for one that hasn't been at all critical, so two more words.... Read It! |
