Overview

Part of the Chiltern Classic range When Edward Tudor, Prince of Wales, crosses paths with his doppelganger, beggar Tom Canty, the two agree to swap clothes “for a jest”. The joke goes rather too far when Tom is proclaimed king, while the real heir to the throne faces indignity and hardship in Mark Twain’s delightful identity-switching tale, which exposes social injustice and the perils of judging people by their appearance. Chiltern are publishers of exquisitely crafted editions of the world’s finest classic literature. These beautiful books are a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques. With wonderful original, detailed and embossed covers, sparkling gilt edges, cream art paper, ribbon markers and stitched binding they are simply the most beautiful classics ever published.
