4.0 out of 5 stars
Hard but fun read,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Prince and the Pauper (1881) (Mark Twain Works) (Hardcover)
The story of a prince and a pauper who switched places and lived in the others place. This is writen by one of the best authors ever but it is hard to read because of the old english so i would recommend this only to people who will take the time to comprehend the sayings.
4.0 out of 5 stars
It may not have happened,but it could've happened-!,

This review is from: The Prince and the Pauper (1881) (Mark Twain Works) (Hardcover)
My favorite kind of historical fiction is that which is historicaly accurate and tells fiction without contradicting any real history.In this novel,Mark Twain does all that and more!Through the switch,Tom sees the facade of royalty-while Edward sees the truth of the peasant life.Edward runs into many people(including a crazed would-be Pope,a band of outlaws,and a similar detached heir),and learns what it takes to be a merciful, fair,understanding king.Miles Hendon is an excellent aide for the king,even though it takes Miles a while to see that his young companion is what he claims to be.There are also good examples of Mark Twain the humorist at his best.
