I have just finished reading the book this afternoon. The ending of the Arthurian story is always heartbreaking, and Mark Twain does not disappoint in this. The ending neatly explains how all Hank's introductions of 19th century scientific progress were destroyed, to allow the Dark Ages to take their proper place.

I'm very glad I have finally reread this book after so many years, and of course I got much more out of it this time around.
