The Prince and the Pauper is a classic tale of mistaken identity and social commentary by Mark Twain, which tells the story of Tom Canty, a poor boy living in the slums of London, and Edward Tudor, the Prince of Wales, who bear a striking resemblance to each other. Through a chance encounter, they decide to temporarily swap places, leading to a series of humorous and perilous adventures as each boy navigates the vastly different world of the other, experiencing firsthand the stark realities of poverty and privilege in 16th-century England, and ultimately learning valuable lessons about social justice and the true nature of their respective stations.
