Set in 1547, The Prince and the Pauper tells the story of two young boys who are identical in appearance: Tom Canty, a Pauper who lives with his abusive father in Offal Court off Pudding Lane in London, and Prince Edward, son of King Henry VIII.
He quickly learns of the harsh, punitive nature of the English judicial system and vows to reign with mercy when.
After a chance encounter, Prince Edward decides to switch places with Tom, so that he can experience life as a London pauper.
