Unexpectedly transported back to the time of legendary King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Lancelot, Morgan La Fey and all of the Knights of the Round Table and their ladies, Hank Morgan of Hartford, Connecticut astonishes the 6thcentury with modern technology and pop culture.  These tricks from the future initially advance and improve King Arthur’s Court, but society ultimately struggles to evolve 1400 years into the future.  Mark Twain’s satirical romp exposes the foibles and fortes of both ages.
