This is the classic novel about a man named Hank, who is knocked unconscious in the gun factory where he works and wakes up in Britain at the time of Camelot. Though he is at first imprisoned and sentenced to death, his "futuristic" ways soon earn him safety and adoration. He introduces all kinds of modern ideas and processes to the medieval era, earning praise from some and hatred from others.
