The Prince and the Pauper is a novel by American author Mark Twain. It was first published in Canada in 1881, followed by the United States in 1882. The novel is Twain's first foray into historical fiction. It is set in 1547 and follows the story of two little boys who were born on the same day and look identical: Tom Canty, a poor who lives in Offal Court off Pudding Lane in London with his abusive, alcoholic father, and Edward VI of England, son of Henry VIII of England. This treasured historical satire played out in two very different socioeconomic worlds of 16th-century England.

Mark Twain

Mark Twain Mark Twain (1835–1910) was one of the most influential writers in world literature. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, and he was born on November 30, 1835, in Missouri, USA. He is best known for his classic novels, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” (1876) and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” (1885), which are considered among the greatest works of American literature. His writing style is characterized by humour, satire, and sharp social criticism. Twain began his career as a journalist and gradually became a novelist, satirist, and lecturer. He was known for his candid commentary on American society, politics, and racial issues. He passed away on April 21, 1910, but his works continue to inspire readers worldwide. He is often referred to as the “Father of American Literature.”
