Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

This tale takes place in Sixth-Century England in Camelot where King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table live. Hank Morgan finds himself there after he is mysteriously transported there from his home in Nineteenth-Century New England. Although this story is very funny, it still hits on serious topics like; white slavery , prejudice, confiscation of property in event of suicide, and the influence of the Church on the people.
