Mark Twain's first attempt at historical fiction, "The Prince and the Pauper", was first distributed in 1881. It is a story set in the hour of Prince Edward, of house Tudor, who at age nine would become King Edward VI. At the point when youthful Prince Edward meets a Pauper, Tom Canty, who prefers a ton like him, he persuades the two to switch garments with the goal that they can be confused with one another and wind up exchanging places. While they assume out their new jobs, Prince Edward learns of the battles of the everyday citizens of England while Tom finds what it resembles to be a Prince and afterward a King. Twain composed with respect to his novel that, "My idea is to afford a realizing sense of the exceeding severity of the laws of that day by inflicting some of their penalties upon the King himself and allowing him a chance to see the rest of them applied to others. . ." A magnificently comedic story, "The Prince and the Pauper" is at its heart a social critique on passing judgment on others basically by their appearance.

"All modern American literature comes from one book called Huckleberry Finn," declared Ernest Hemingway. "There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since." Yet even from the time of its first publication in 1885, Mark Twain's masterpiece has been one of the most celebrated and controversial books ever published in America. No other story so central to our American identity has been so loved and so reviled as Huck Finn's autobiography.
