About This Item
Synopsis
A pauper caught up in the pomp of the royal court.A prince wandering horror-stricken through the lower depths of English society.Out of the theme of switched identities, Mark Twain 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 happiest creative period.
