Title: TOM AND EDWARD
Review: As the title implies, the main characters are royal Prince Edward Tudor, and the street urchin/Pauper Tom Cantry, who switch roles, and both try to survive in their new environments. It has comedy and you have to maintain a certain degree of imagination, whimsy, and fantasy in your reading to fully appreciate Twain writing this novel in between his classics Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Of course in real life, this wouldn't happen but it made for good reading, not only for kids but also for oldsters and academic types if they simply lounge back and enjoy the story. In his biography, I was happy see that Twain became very successful later in life, was world-renowned and appreciated, and also paid off his bills (now-a-days, the course seems to declare bankruptcy and not accept responsibility).A fun read - I passed it on to my daughter.
