The Prince and the Pauper

Mistaken identity! Subterfuge! Plots and counterplots! Does this sound like the latest murder-mystery novel? Well, pull up a chair and immerse yourself in one of the best childhood fantasy novels ever written. Mark Twain wrote The Prince and the Pauper and dedicated it to his two daughters, Clara and Susie. In a departure from his usually style, Twain weaves a delightful story of the prince who wants to see something of the world, and the pauper boy who wants to escape from the cruelty of his world. It is lavishly illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings.
