About this listen

Step into the cobbled streets of 16th-century London in The Prince and the Pauper, Mark Twain’s classic tale of mistaken identity, compassion, and the contrast between privilege and poverty. When two boys—Tom Canty, born in the slums of Offal Court, and Edward Tudor, heir to the English throne—meet and discover their uncanny resemblance, they impulsively swap clothes... and lives. What begins as a game leads to a life-altering adventure as each must navigate a world utterly foreign to them. Through hardship and revelation, they gain a deeper understanding of justice, dignity, and humanity.

This abridged edition, narrated with heartfelt nuance by Joe Reeder, brings Twain’s sharp wit and deep empathy to new and seasoned listeners alike. A timeless reflection on class and character, this story speaks just as powerfully today as it did over a century ago.
