"The Prince and the Pauper, Part 4." by Mark Twain is a novel first published in 1881. Two boys—Prince Edward Tudor and pauper Tom Canty—swap identities due to their striking resemblance, triggering a chain of consequences neither anticipated. While Tom struggles with royal court life, Edward experiences London's brutal poverty and harsh justice system firsthand. As King Henry VIII dies and coronation day approaches, both boys must navigate worlds they never knew, leading to revelations about mercy, inequality, and true identity.
