Description

"Visually stunning, this series is a beautifully updated version of yesterday's literary comics, sure to hook young readers on these perennial classics — each story is accompanied by a time line that puts the story's events in historical perspective and the written word. The Prince and the Pauper follows the adventures of Tom Canty, a poor boy who trades places with his look-a-like, the young Prince Edward. This classic story by Mark Twain recounts the boys' difficult adjustment to their new circumstances and their even more difficult adjustment back to their original lives. A biting social commentary told with wit and compassion, this colorful manga version of the story offers valuable lessons about class and privilege to today's young readers."
