The Prince and the Pauper. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

In the famous historical novels of Mark Twain, the heroes find themselves in unimaginable situations and must adapt to completely unexpected circumstances.

The unloved ragamuffin Tom Canty from the poorest district of 16th-century London and the desired heir to the British crown Edward Tudor switch places, while a simple American Hank Morgan from East Hartford, Connecticut, one day wakes up not in his hometown and not even in the 19th century, but in Britain in 528 AD, during the era of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

But while the events described happen only in fairy tales, the spirit of the time and the countries where the heroes live is recreated by the author, one of the founders of American literature, with meticulous authenticity.

By opening Mark Twain's books, readers will immerse themselves in a “completely special, fascinating, and vibrant world, where sometimes very cold winds blow, but the flame of true humanity does not extinguish”.

The classic graphics by artists Frank Merrill, Daniel Beard, as well as the color illustrations of the famous British artist William Hatherell organically complement the prose of the renowned writer.
