About this audiobook
Two boys identical in appearance—one a beggar, the other the Prince of Wales—accidentally swap lives and learn how the other half lives. The prince suffers the brutality of the laws he will one day administer, while the pauper struggles with the stifling etiquette of the court. The novel is a plea for social justice, arguing that a ruler must understand the suffering of his people to govern wisely. It is a gripping historical fable about empathy and the trappings of power.
