Treasured historical satire, played out in two very different socio-economic worlds of 16th-century England, focuses on two young look-alikes—Edward, the Prince of Wales, and Tom Canty, a street beggar. When both youngsters decide to trade clothes and roles, they find their lives drastically altered. This timeless tale of transposed identities remains one of Twain’s best-loved novels.
