One day two young boys meet. They look
exactly the same. However there is one big difference;
Tom is a poor beggar and Edward is a prince, son of
King Henry the Eighth of England.
The boys swap clothes, and Edward, now dressed in beggar's
rags, is mistaken for Tom and thrown from the palace
by one of his own guards. Suddenly Prince Edward finds
himself in an unknown world of poverty in the streets
of London ...
Meanwhile Tom is ruling the country, enjoying being
a prince.
Read about how the prince and the pauper lead each
other's lives. What will happen when King Henry dies,
and his son must be crowned king?
Mark Twain grew up in Missouri, USA,
over a hundred years ago, and became one of the greatest
story-tellers in the English language. |
