Book Description:
The original American satirist
Cracked on the head by a crowbar in nineteenth-century Connecticut, Hank Morgan wakes to find himself in King Arthur's England. Branded by Twain's aptitude for broad comedy and biting social satire, the grim truths of Twain's Camelot-fear, injustice, ignorance-resound as clearly now as when it was written

Danie M. (this is a wonderful classic. Sarcastic and witty this book is an adventure!
Interesting take of time travel. The main character does finally learn that the "ugly American" (in any era) is not a good person and reforms his ways. Plenty of irony and satire included.
