The Prince
and the Pauper
Mark Twain
considered this story of exchanged identity to be his best. Poor
beggar Tom and Prince Edward, looking exactly alike, decide to trade
places for a short while. However, once Tom becomes the prince
(who is considered to have gone mad) and Edward becomes the beggar boy
(who no one will take seriously) it seems impossible for them to be able
to switch back to their own identities. (I have chosen to offer
the abridged version because the vocabulary is so advanced in the
original that I found it very hard for the fourth graders I tested it on
to comprehend.)$4.99
