Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Prince and the Pauper, Part 8." by Mark Twain is a novel first published in 1881. Two identical boys—Prince Edward Tudor and pauper Tom Canty—swap places in Tudor England, leading to unexpected consequences when they cannot switch back. As Edward experiences poverty and injustice firsthand, Tom struggles to maintain the princely charade at court. This tale of mistaken identity explores social inequality and the harsh realities of sixteenth-century English law, building toward a dramatic coronation where true identities must finally be revealed.
