«The Prince and the Poor Boy» is the graded reader by Mark Twain, published by Longman in paperback (88 pages, in English).
In a historically set London, a prince and a beggar who look very much alike swap their clothes and, unwittingly, their lives. One discovers the harshness of the street; the other, the demands of the court. An adventure about identity, social class, and justice.
Abridged edition, revised by Viola Huggins and published in 1995 within the Nelson Graded Readers series.
It is intended for beginner-level students of English as a second language and for young readers.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
