    A tale for people of all

    The Prince

    • The P rince and the P auper •


    ages . . .

    Tom Canty and Edward Tudor could have and the Pauper
    been identical twins. Their birthdays match,
    their faces match, but there the likeness stops.
    For Edward is a prince, heir to King Hen-
    ry VIII, whilst Tom is a miserable pauper.
    But when fate intervenes, Edward is thrown
    out of the palace in rags, leaving ignorant
    Tom to play the part of a royal prince. Even
    those who have never read the novel will be
    familiar with Twain’s classic tale of mistaken
    identity: at once an adventure story and a
    fantasy of timeless appeal.
    Mark Twain
