Tom Canty and Edward Tudor look alike, but their lives could hardly be more different. For Edward is Prince (and heir to the throne), whilst Tom is a miserable pauper. Until one day fate intervenes, and for a while each must see how the other lives.

Tom Canty and Edward Tudor could have been identical twins. Their birthdays and their faces match, but there the likeness stops. For Edward is prince, heir to King Henry VIII of England, whilst Tom is a miserable pauper. But fate intervenes, and their identities become confused. Soon the prince is thrown out of the palace in rags, leaving ignorant Tom to play the part of a royal prince.

Set in Ranaissance England, The Prince and the Pauper tells the story of Tom Canty, a ragged pauper, and young Edward VI, only son of Henry VIII, who look exactly alike. Almost by accident, the boys exhange places days before Henry's death and Edward's coronation, leaving Tom to the role of future king and Edward to the mercy of the beggars' underworld. A rousing tale of mistaken identity, this annotated edition reveals an optimistic side of Mark Twain seldom seen.

The Prince and the Pauper (1881) (The ^AOxford Mark Twain)

The Prince and the Pauper is one of Twain's best-known and best-loved books throughout the world. In this historical tale set in mid-nineteenth-century England, the Prince of Wales and a lookalike pauper exchange places by accident just days before Henry VIII's death. Each boy finds that his "father" believes him to be mad; each is befriended by his "sister;" and each wakes from sleep thinking that his trying experiences have been just a bad dream. Along the way each learns crucial lessons about manners, morals, justice, and compassion. Mark Twain immersed himself in English history to write this novel and passed on reference books to the artists so that their illustrations could be historically accurate. He was "enchanted" with the pictures they produced. His daughter Susy was convinced that The Prince and the Pauper, a book her father subtitled, "a tale for young people of all ages" was "the best book he has ever written."

Fishkin, Shelley Fisher
