Synopsis: Rich with surprise and hilarious adventure, The Prince and the Pauper is a delightful satire of Englands romantic past and a joyful boyhood romp filled with the same tongue-in-cheek irony that sparks the best of Mark Twains tall tales. Two boys, one an urchin from Londons filthy lanes, the other a prince born in a lavish palace, unwittingly trade identities. Thus a bedraggled Prince of Poverty discovers that his private dreams have all come truewhile 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 wellthrough its stinging attack on the ageless human folly of attempting to measure true worth by outer appearances.
