Rich with surprise and hilarious adventure, The Prince and the Pauper is a delightful satire of England’s romantic past and a joyful boyhood romp filled with the same tongue-in-cheek irony that sparks the best of Mark Twain’s tall tales. Two boys, one an urchin from London’s filthy lanes, the other a prince born in a lavish palace, unwittingly trade identities. Thus a bedraggled “Prince of Poverty” discovers that his private dreams have all come true—while a pampered Prince of Wales finds himself tossed into a rough-and-tumble world of squalid beggars and villainous thieves. Originally written as a story for children, The Prince and the Pauper is a classic novel for adults as well—through its stinging attack on the ageless human folly of attempting to measure true worth by outer appearances.

2017已读42# 同年同月同日生，相貌一样，一个是王子一个是贫儿，阴差阳错身份交换，一个适应宫廷生活，一个经历重重险境，好在最后都皆大欢喜。对话部分多古汉语，开始不太顺，熟悉了就好了。

读了一半，不想读了。古英语夹在里面很难受不说，马克吐温想开始一点严肃写作，结果故事也见着什么严肃的道理，同时又失掉了惯有的幽默和文采，还是算了吧。

very first foreign fiction I knew in my life
