The Prince and the Pauper by Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) is a historical adventure novel about two boys who look remarkably alike but come from completely different worlds. Edward, the Prince of Wales, and Tom Canty, a poor boy from London, accidentally exchange identities and are forced to experience each other’s lives. As Tom struggles to behave like a prince and Edward discovers the harsh realities faced by ordinary people, both gain a new understanding of society and justice. Blending humor, adventure, and social criticism, Twain explores inequality, poverty, privilege, and the importance of compassion.
