The Prince and the Pauper

Set in 16th-century London, the story contrasts the lives of two boys born on the same day: Edward Tudor, a prince celebrated by the entire nation, and Tom Canty, a poor child unwanted by his family. The joyous festivities surrounding Edward's birth highlight the stark divide between wealth and poverty, as England revels in the arrival of their future king. Meanwhile, Tom's existence is overshadowed by his family's struggles. This tale explores themes of social inequality and the impact of fate on two lives destined for vastly different futures.
