This review is from: The Prince and the Pauper (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

The book very well authorized the life of two different boys. The situation had split them into the monarchy and the very por class. When these boys switch places they are in for an experience they may never have wanted to see. The saying goes the grass is not always greener on the other side.
