Mark Twain's historical satire about two identical boys who trade places to experience a life they never imagined, now available in an unabridged, paperback volume in Union Square and Co.'s Signature Editions series.

Set in sixteenth-century England, The Prince and the Pauper is Mark Twain's timeless tale of identical strangers, the penniless Tom Canty living in the London slums and the royal Prince Edward, who switch places to experience what the other's life has to offer. Subtitled "A Tale for Young People of All Ages," The Prince and the Pauper blends action and comedy with a witty satire of social hierarchy that has resonated with readers for generations.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) was born as Samuel Langhorne Clemens. When he was four years old, he moved to Hannibal, Missouri, which later inspired the setting of his novels The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Before he wrote books, Twain worked as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River.
