Mark Twain
Lu par LibriVox Volunteers
The Prince and the Pauper tells the story of two young boys who are identical in appearance: Tom Canty, a pauper who lives with his abusive father in Offal Court off Pudding Lane in London, and Prince Edward, son of King Henry VIII. After trading clothes for a lark, misadventure results in trading places - the King must survive a pauper's fate, and Tom becomes the presumed King. The book follows the adventures as the two try to learn the world of the other, and strive to find their way back to their true life. - Summary by Krista Zaleski

Critiques
A well read version of a classic tale
deborah isabela
recomendable for all ages. This was an enjoyable version of dramatic reading. Clear voices and a delightful story made the hours pass fast. Thank you to one and all who produced such a product. The story of switched roles has been a delight to young and old for centuries. A true classic and exercise in true mercy and understanding of both rich and poor.
