The Prince and the Pauper

Perhaps it took an American to so skillfully write of Tudor history through the lens of democracy. Mark Twain perfectly captures the flavor of 16th Century England as we wish it had been and at the same time explores the themes of power, poverty, privilege, identity and destiny. As all great writes do, he weaves these seamlessly into an adventure story which please young and old alike.
