The Prince and the Pauper - Unabridged MP3 CD Audiobook in paper sleeve

Description: The Prince and the Pauper The Prince and the Pauper Mark Twain In The Prince and the Pauper (1881)two boys from very different backgrounds and identical physical appearances exchange places and experience the kind of lives they never would have known otherwise. Tom Canty is a pauper; Prince Edward is the only son of Henry VIII and heir to the throne of England. The time and place is 1547 London, when the Tudors ruled and excesses at court and within the judicial system called out for reform and moderation. Prince Edward’s time with Canty teaches the future king about the gritty underside of London, the stress of poverty, and the punitive system that tortures and executes in the name of justice. Tom’s experience is no less enlightening as he is called upon to mediate claims and then to take the reins of a grand and powerful kingdom. By the novel’s end, the characters have returned to their prior stations with the well-deserved wisdom gained through their respective experiences as a prince and as a pauper. Mark Twain’s first attempt at historical fiction was a marked success with the public and critics.
