Kemble to create its unforgettable illustrations after discovering his work in a popular American humor magazine called Life.This volume also includes A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, illustrated by Daniel Beard. It is the tale of Hank Morgan, a 19th-century resident of Hartford, Connecticut, who, after an injury, finds himself in medieval England at the time of the legendary King Arthur.
