The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain is a timeless tale set in 16th-century England, where two boys from opposite worlds — Prince Edward, heir to the throne, and Tom Canty, a poor commoner — meet by chance and exchange places. As each struggles to survive in the other’s life, the story explores themes of justice, compassion, and the stark contrasts between wealth and poverty. This simplified edition, published as part of the New Method Supplementary Readers series, adapts the classic for English learners with accessible language and supportive illustrations.
