The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This book contains Mark Twain's 1881 novel, "The Prince and the Pauper." It constitutes Twain's first serious attempt at historical fiction and is highly recommended for those with a love of such literature. Set in 1547, "The Prince and the Pauper" is the tale of two boys of uncanny physical similarity: Tom Canty, a poor son of an abusive father living on Pudding Lane in London, and Prince Edward, whose father is King Henry VIII. A masterfully-written and thoroughly entertaining novel, "The Prince and The Pauper" would make for a fantastic addition to any collection. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910), better known by his pseudonym, Mark Twain, was a seminal American writer and humourist. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. | The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
