The Prince and the Pauper

The Prince and the Pauper is an adaptation of Mark Twain's classic novel that follows two teenage boys in 16th century England who are identical in appearance but live in vastly different social classes. When the young Prince Edward VI and a poor London boy named Tom exchange clothes and roles, each is forced to experience life under the other's circumstances. The story explores the contrasts between royal privilege and poverty while portraying the challenges each boy faces in his new position. This adaptation is edited to preserve Twain's original style and themes, and it is designed for upper grade readers.
