Publisher's Weekly Review
When Hank Morgan is transported from 19th-century Hartford, Conn., to sixth-century England, his misadventures begin as he navigates a host of dangers en route to becoming "The Boss" of Camelot. William Dufris's enthusiastic narration is perfect; the deep drawl he produces might very well be the voice of Twain himself, and his pacing and comedic timing will delight listeners. Dufris is clearly enjoying himself, and he produces a series of unique voices for the knights and damsels Morgan meets in Camelot. (June) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Booklist Review
Twain's satirical response to Malory's glorious tale is a fine antidote to the pretensions of many mediocre Arthurian sagas. In his wickedly funny and irreverent rendering, a nineteenth-century gun factory worker, Hank Morgan, is knocked unconscious, then comes to in England in 528. He is less than impressed.
