Twain's story has been adapted and, er, borrowed from so often and
so freely that you're probably familiar with it even if you've
never read of it: a prince of sixteenth-century England meets his
double in the slums of London. The two swap clothes -- and lives.
Complications ensue. Tom Canty, the urchin, learns how luxury and
power can become the death of a man, while his doppleganger roams
his kingdom, learning first hand of the cruelty of the Tudor
monarchy. . . .
"Twain was . . . enough of a genius to build his morality into
his books, with humor and wit and -- in the case of "The Prince and
the Pauper" -- wonderful plotting."
-- E.L. Doctorow
