Puffin Classics- the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child
Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this exciting edition of The Prince and the Pauper.
Tom Canty and Edward Tudor could have been identical twins. Their birthdays and their faces match, but there the likeness stops. For Edward is prince, heir to King Henry VIII of England, whilst Tom is a miserable pauper. But fate intervenes, and their identities become confused. Soon the prince is thrown out of the palace in rags, leaving ignorant Tom to play the part of a royal prince.
