(from the publisher)

A Mark Twain classic gets a makeover from the illustrator NPR has called “diabolically witty” and “devilishly expressive.” Seymour Chwast, an icon of the graphic design world, has delighted audiences with his adaptations of The Divine Comedy, The Canterbury Tales, and The Odyssey, but it is in Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court that he has found his match. Inspired by Twain’s comic irreverence for the Knights of the Round Table, Chwast’s illustrations showcase his humor at its finest. He brings us a brilliant imagining of the beloved hero, Hank Morgan, as well as the full cast of Camelot characters, from Merlin to Lancelot to the king himself. With a bold and colorful design and no shortage of witty surprises, this is Mark Twain as you’ve never seen him before.
