Mark Twain

The Prince and the Pauper

1964 (Signet Classics May 1, 1964) , 3rd Edition
On an autumn day, in the second quarter of the sixteenth century, two boys were born in England, one to a poor family by the name of Canty who lived in Offal Court, not far from London Bridge, and the other to a wealthy and high-placed family by the name of Tudor. Young Tom Canty, unwanted, unloved, began his day-dreaming early in order to forget the petty stealing to which he was forced by his cruel rogue of a father-and the royal Court and young Prince Edward became the focus of his dreams. It was beyond Tom's dreaming that he would one day actually meet the Prince and enter the Palace. But Fate had decided that these two boys, born on the same day-and who looked exactly alike-should play a part in the history of England.
