Tom Canty and Edward Tudor could have been identical twins. Their birthdays match, their faces match, but there the likeness stops. For Edward is a prince, heir to King Henry VIII, whilst Tom is a miserable pauper. But when fate intervenes, Edward is thrown out of the palace in rags, leaving ignorant Tom to play the part of a royal prince.

Rezensionen
Twain was . . . enough of a genius to build his morality into his books, with humor and wit and in the case of The Prince and the Pauper wonderful plotting. E. L. Doctorow
