The Prince and the Pauper : illustrated Abridged Children Classics English Novel with Review Questions (Illustrated Classics)

Two boys who look alike swap clothes for the fun of it, and then neither can persuade anyone to swap them back. The story of Prince Edward and Tom Canty by Mark Twain is retold in abridged form with full-page illustrations of sixteenth-century England. The plainer language keeps the plot moving, and the questions at the end give a child a way into the harder part of the book: what the palace looks like from the street, and what the street looks like once you have seen the palace. Features that stand out: • Twain's exchange of identities retold for younger readers • Full-page artwork of Tudor streets and court interiors • Discussion questions on fairness, rank and identity • Sentences shortened without flattening the story Works for children of around eight to twelve, and for classrooms using fiction to open a conversation about justice.
