The story follows Tom Canty, a street urchin yearning for royalty, and Edward Tudor, a prince seeking freedom. A twist of fate swaps their lives, thrusting Tom into the opulence of kingship while Edward navigates the harsh realities of poverty. Mark Twain's 1881 novel serves as a sharp social satire, critiquing monarchy, unjust laws, and societal norms with humor and irony. Though initially aimed at children, it resonates with adult readers, providing a profound reflection on themes of power and inequality relevant to both past and present societies.
