They look alike. In fact, there is but one difference between them: Tom Canty is a child of the London slums; Edward Tudor is heir to the throne of England. Just how insubstantial this difference really is becomes clear when a chance encounter leads to an exchange of roles…with the pauper caught up in the pomp and folly of the royal court, and the prince wandering, horror-stricken, through the lower depths of sixteenth-century English society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOut of the theme of switched identities, Mark Twain has fashioned both a scathing attack upon social hypocrisy and injustice and an irresistible comedy imbued with the sense of high-spirited play that belongs to his most creative period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWith an Afterword by Everett Emerson \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119002501360,"sku":"9781101078105","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101078105_p0.jpg?v=1763684905","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101078105","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
