Unless it's the Prince and the Pauper or King Arthur in Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

Just like Mark Twain -- Samuel Langhorne Clemens. -- From Amy Sterling Casil's Introduction Full Product DetailsAuthor: Mark Twain , N C WyethPublisher: Kessinger Publishing Imprint: Kessinger Publishing Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 1.40cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.426kg ISBN: 9780548974223ISBN 10: 0548974225 Pages: 174 Publication Date: 01 June 2008 Audience: Children/juvenile , Children / Juvenile Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
