Author: Mark Twain ( Samuel Clements ) / Year: 1835-1910  / Genre:12 &Over

A poor young boy from the slums of London watches a royal procession pass, with the youthful Prince of Wales riding at its head.
He ventures too close and is caught and beaten by the Prince's guards. However, the young royal stops them and invites the
vagrant to the palace. Here the two boys sup alone and are stunned to discover that they bear a startling resemblance to each
other. The Prince is Edward, long awaited heir of the monarch, Henry VIII, while the vagrant is Tom Canty, the son of a thief and
 a beggar. Edward is fascinated by the free and unfettered life that Tom leads, while Tom is overawed by the wealth and luxury
of the palace. The boys decide to switch clothes. From here, adventure begins for both of them!
