DescriptionIn Twain's classic, The Prince and the Pauper, Young Prince Edward lives a life of luxury with servants to grant his every wish. The twin he does not know, Tom Canty, spends his days begging on the streets, and his nights in a hovel with his tyrannical father. When the two boys meet, a simple switch of clothing sets them on a path they'd never dreamed possible. The bedraggled street urchin becomes king for a day, and the pampered Prince of Wales is left to fend for himself among his seedier subjects.
