Frances M. B. (Twain's satire of Arthurian myth and American industrialism still rings true. Too many times it has been sentimentalized in bad adaptations. It's a good corrective to read Twain's original vision.
This is a classic satire for both pleasure readers and academics and for readers of a wide age range. The humour and themes make this book a thought-filled delight.
