Used book The Prince and the Pauper is Mark Twain's first attempt at writing a historical novel.. 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.
