You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." -Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889)


A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) is a great satirical novel by Mark Twain about a 19th century Yankee traveling back in time to medieval Britain. This novel provides a critique of contemporary society, even though it takes place in archaic Britain.
