Edward Tudor and Tom Canty are the same age and share the same features - only one of them is a pauper's child and the other is heir to the throne of England. When chance brings the boys together, they decide for fun to switch clothes. But fate suddenly casts them into each other's worlds. Tom learns what it is like to be the beloved heir to the throne and the young Prince learns what beggars have to endure. Mark Twain's wonderful fable has delighted young readers for over a hundred years! Mark Twain's classic tale is revised for the sake of young, pre-teen readers in this Great Illustrated Classics work. This version is true to the original. Excellent pen & ink drawings that reside on every facing page illustrate the story. This work is well- designed to attract young readers who hopefully will be induced to tackle Twain's original when older. Highly recommended for younger readers. (Don't trust the Amazon reviews under listings for this book; they refer to a variety of editions of Mark Twain's original work, a symptom of Amazon's incompetence and disorganization). no reviews | add a review
