description: 1881. From Mark Twain, one of the most widely loved and celebrated American writers, comes the story about Young Prince Edward, who lived a life of luxury with servants to grant his every wish and Tom Canty, who spent his days begging on the streets, and his nights in a hovel with his tyrannical father. When the two boys meet, a simple switch of clothing sets them on a path they'd never dreamed possible. The prince, mistaken for Tom, is forced to live a pauper's life, while Tom unwillingly takes on the life of a prince. And in the end, each boy finds the king inside himself.
