    The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain tells the story of two boys in 16th century London, England - Prince Edward Tudor and the pauper Tom Canty - who are identical in appearance but come from vastly different social classes. When the two boys meet, they decide to switch places for fun; however, their switch has greater consequences, as each must now take on the other's social role and responsibilities. The story explores themes of social class, wealth, family, society, and criticizes judging people based on appearances alone.
