About
This edition of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court includes an Introduction, Biographical Note, and Afterword by R. L. Fisher.
It was one heck of a punch. Knocked me clear from New England to Olde England, from Connecticut-to Camelot. Suddenly, there I was-with King Arthur, Launcelot, Morgan le Fay, and that faker, Merlin. I was trapped in the sixth-century, surrounded by jousts and chivalry and idiots in armor bashing other idiots in armor!
But, I'm resourceful; I looked for opportunities. And, King Arthur's court needed a few improvements. Like soap. Toothpaste. Baseball. Electricity, factories, newspapers, telephones, trains, bicycles...free elections. In short, these folks need a double dose of good ole American know-how.
They needed a Boss. They needed-Me.
