62446 | 0451528352 | 9780451528353 | The Prince and the Pauper | 240 | Signet | 2002-05-01 | This treasured historical satire, played out in two very different socioeconomic worlds of 16th-century England, centers around the lives of two boys born in London on the same day: Edward, Prince of Wales and Tom Canty, a street beggar. During a chance encounter, the two realize they are identical and, as a lark, decide to exchange clothes and roles--a situation that briefly, but drastically, alters the lives of both youngsters. The Prince, dressed in rags, wanders about the city's boisterous neighborhoods among the lower classes and endures a series of hardships; meanwhile, poor Tom, now living with the royals, is constantly filled with the dread of being discovered for who and what he really is. | https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1376406798l/62446._SX98_.jpg |
