An ingenious Yankee mechanic, knocked unconscious in a fight, awakens to find himself at

Camelot in A.D. 528. Imprisoned by Sir Kay the Seneschal and exhibited before the knights of the Round

Table, he is condemned to death but saves himself by posing as a magician like Merlin, correctly predicting

an eclipse, and becoming minister to King Arthur. He increases his power by applying nineteenth-century

knowledge of gunpowder, electricity, and industrial methods. However, when he attempts to better the

condition of the peasantry he meets opposition from the church, the knights, Merlin, and the sorceress

Morgan le Fay.

The world of Hans Christian Andersen is seen through the eyes of children. There is the every-day wonder of an ugly duckling being transformed into a swan; the puf fed-up Emperor being fooled by his own importance; the tender tragedy of a
little match girl; the upright honesty of John rewarded by his travelling companion. By bringing true feelings to these stories, Andersen's tales have become part of universal folk lore.
