Daniel Beard’s commission to illustrate this novel resulted in a depiction that hinted at a Georgian interpretation. One of those illustrations depicts the main character proclaiming “Go ‘long, you ain’t more than a paragraph” to Amias Poulet, who he later christens Clarence. In this novel, Sandy’s royal “mistresses” are supposedly held captive by “ogres,” before both groups are revealed to be pigs. Clarence later saves both of this novel’s titular characters by commanding a group of 500 (*) knights on bicycles. This novel opens with a frame narrative of meeting a mysterious stranger who can explain a hole in a suit of armor. Alongside anachronistic depictions of telephones, lockpicks, electric fences, and gatling guns this novel contains direct quotations from a collection by Thomas Mallory. For 10 points, name this Mark Twain novel where Hank Morgan ends up in Camelot. ■END■
