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.

Enjoyable

While the story obviously never happened, it’s a great read and great entertainment, from the story of the switch to the breathtaking suspense of the moment when the real king might have been rejected. I consider the character Tom Canty to be a noble person, and an honest one in his readiness to insist the real king have the throne. Few people of today will do that. Excellent book!

Only name that wasn't taken. ,

Simple, Timeless, Thoughtful

This book teaches a simple and profound truth, when you look beyond your own narrow understanding and see things through the eyes of someone else, you will inevitably have your own views changed for the better. This is a simple, timeless, and thoughtful book, which I was very happy to have read. I highly recommend it! (This book is written with quite a bit of old English, so I would recommend being familiar with some old timey expressions before starting it.)
