Rich with surprise and hilarious adventure, The Prince and the Pauper is a delightful satire of Englandâ€™s romantic past and a joyful boyhood romp filled with the same tongue-in-cheek irony that sparks the best of Mark Twainâ€™s tall tales. Two boys, one an urchin from Londonâ€™s filthy lanes, the other a prince born in a lavish palace, unwittingly trade identities. Thus a bedraggled â€œPrince of Povertyâ€ discovers that his private dreams have all come trueâ€”while a pampered Prince of Wales finds himself tossed into a rough-and-tumble world of squalid beggars and villainous thieves. Originally written as a story for children, The Prince and the Pauper is a classic novel for adults as wellâ€”through its stinging attack on the ageless human folly of attempting to measure true worth by outer appearances.
