Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classics edition.
A chance meeting between Prince Edward Tutor and Tom Canty, a beggar’s son, brings with it the realization that they could be twins. So, when the opportunity to switch roles arises, Edward and Tom take it! Soon, both boys are in over their heads, with seemingly no way back to their own lives.
Beloved American author Mark Twain’s signature wit and talent for words sparkles throughout The Prince and the Pauper. In a sea of stories about characters who switch lives, this one stands out.
Customer Reviews
The original
So many adaptations have been made into films including Garfield it was nice to get back to the origins.
A great read
This is a very well-written book, as we would expect from Twain. As well as furnishing the reader with an insight into the times and laws of the 17th century, he has crafted a great story- a real page-turner, dotted with humour and pathos. I recommend it!!
Wow
