•Twian's popular novel chronicles the
adventures of two young boys, a
Prince and a Pauper, who exchange
roles and stations in life.
•Each boy has strong misconceptions
of what the other boys life is like and
series of educational and entertaining
adventures play out as the boys grow
more comfortable in both their real
and assumed roles in life.
On the same day two boys are born: the pauper Tom and
prince Edvard.
•As a kid, Tom sneaks into the palace garden and meet
the prince.They change clothes with each other but the
guards discover them and throw out the prince, since
they are almost identical.Tom Canty is a little boy from
a laboring family who bears a striking resemblance to
Prince Edward,the son of King Henry VIII and heir to his
throne. Tom and Edward meet by chance, since both of
them think each other’s life is very free and interesting,
they decide to exchange places briefly as a lark; Edward
will get to live as an ordinary boy, and Tom will be able
to enjoy the perks of royalty.
• But the two are separated before they can let everyone
in on the joke, and Tom discovers as he pretends to be
Price Edward that the castle is awash in corruption…
