In Mark Twain's famous historical novels, the characters find themselves in unimaginable situations and must adapt to completely unexpected circumstances. The unloved ragamuffin Tom Canty from the poorest district of 16th-century London and the desired heir to the British crown, Edward Tudor, change places, and a simple American, Hank Morgan, from East Hartfold, Connecticut, wakes up one day not in his hometown or even in the 19th century, but in Britain in the year 528, in the era of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. But if the events described happen only in fairy tales, then the spirit of the times and the countries where the characters live are recreated by the author, one of the founders of American literature, with scrupulous authenticity. Opening Mark Twain's books, readers will be immersed in "a very special, fascinating and bright world, where sometimes very cold winds blow, but the flame of real humanity does not go out." Classic graphics by artists Frank Merrill, Daniel Beard, as well as color illustrations by the famous British artist William Hatherell organically complement the prose of the famous writer.
