The Prince and the Pauper

More about the book

Set in a whimsical world, the narrative explores themes of mistaken identity and social class through the adventures of a prince longing for freedom and a pauper seeking a better life. Lavishly illustrated with over 192 pen-and-ink drawings, this 1885 edition captures the essence of Mark Twain's original work, dedicated to his daughters. Twain's departure from his typical style offers readers a captivating childhood fantasy filled with intrigue, subterfuge, and the charm of two contrasting lives.
