Next Book Notes

There are four or five copies of the next book at both the county and city library districts. I would imagine that a classic like this would be available in most used book stores as well. Julie and Candace have both read this in the past and enjoyed it.

"As the Yankee's ingenuity and know-how encounter the world of medieval superstition, Twain takes the opportunity to satirize the Old World, chivalry, kings and the church. Many of the Arthurian knights are depicted, as seen through the unimpressed eyes of the Yankee." -Benet's Reader's Encyclopedia (Fourth Edition)
