Rich with surprise and hilarious adventure, The Prince And The
Pauper is a delight satire of England's romantic past and a joyful
boyhood romp filled with the same tongue-in-cheek irony that
sparked the best of Mark Twain's tall tales. Two boys, one an
urchin from London's 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 the
come true -- 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 well -- through its
stinging attack on the ageless human folly of attempting to measure
true worth by outer appearances.
