Set in 16th century London, the story contrasts the lives of two boys born on the same day: Edward Tudor, a prince celebrated by all, and Tom Canty, a poor child unwanted by his family. The joyous celebration of Edward's birth engulfs the city, with festivities and merriment, while Tom's arrival brings only hardship. This tale explores themes of social class and identity, as the fates of these boys diverge dramatically despite their shared birthday, highlighting the stark differences between wealth and poverty in Tudor England.
