About the Book
In this abridged reissue of Mark Twain’s classic The Prince and the Pauper, two boys who could easily have been mistaken for identical twins find their lives suddenly intertwined in an extraordinary way. Tom Canty, a poor, miserable pauper, and Edward Tudor, the prince and heir to the throne of King Henry VIII, share an uncanny resemblance in both face and birthdate. However, the circumstances of their lives could not be more different.
When fate causes a mix-up, the two boys swap places, with Tom stepping into the royal life and Edward experiencing the hardships of life as a pauper. As they navigate each other’s vastly different worlds, they both gain valuable insights into the lives of the other, ultimately revealing themes of social inequality, the innocence of youth, and the complexities of identity.
Twain’s brilliant storytelling, filled with humor, wisdom, and a sharp critique of social systems, shines through in this reissue. The Prince and the Pauper continues to be a beloved tale for readers of all ages, offering timeless lessons on empathy, justice, and the human spirit.
