Medieval Tales

We’re continuing our journey through...

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
by
Mark Twain

After getting into an argument at work and hit in the head with a crowbar Hank Morgan is whisked back in time to Camelot, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table. Never start a fight with a guy named Hercules!

Hank wakes up and thinks he’s in an asylum called Camelot but soon discovers he is in the year 528. As the prisoner of Sir Kay, Hnak witnesses King Arthur and his Knights. He also meets Merlin who tells the tale of how King Arthur received his mighty sword.

After Sir Kay tells how he captured Hank, Hank is striped and sent to the dungeon to await his execution the next day.

Hank, remembering there was an eclipse in 528, claims he is a great magician and he will blot out the sun at the time of his execution.

What’s in store for Hank? Will he be executed? Or will the eclipse convince them he is a great and powerful magician?

Grab a cup of mead, find a cozy spot to sit and enjoy the first part of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.
