Set in the 16th century, this historical classic is the enchanting story of two London boys of opposite social standings. Edward, the Prince of Wales is tired of his life as a royal, so when he encounters a street urchin by the name of Tom who happens to look just like him, the two exchange clothes and roles for a short time.

This stunt forever changes the lives of both boys. Dressed in ragged clothes, the prince wanders the streets of London while enduring some of the hardships of the city’s poor. Tom, on the other hand, finds that life as a royal isn’t as easy as he once thought with the looming fear that he could be caught at any time.

Mark Twain created some truly unique and picture-forming descriptions throughout this story. They made me smile as I thought of my teens learning to use “strong verbs” and “ly” words and synonyms, etc. to become excellent writers.
Wanted to keep on listening. Makes me want the story to continue.
Narrator easy and pleasant to listen to - fits with the story.
