Coles A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court: A 19th Century Engineer, a Blow to the Head, and a Very Confused Round Table at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
After a blow to the head, a practical, wisecracking Connecticut engineer wakes up in sixth-century England — and immediately sets about "fixing" the Middle Ages with 19th-century know-how, from telephones to gunpowder, while King Arthur's knights look on in bewilderment. What starts as satire on medieval romance turns into something sharper: a warning about what happens when progress meets power without wisdom. Twain at his funniest and most cutting — a time-travel fantasy that's really an argument about the century Twain actually lived in, wrapped in Round Table jokes that still land.
