«Príncipe y mendigo» is the illustrated adaptation of Mark Twain's novel, published by Bruguera in hardback (122 pages, in Spanish).
Set in 16th-century England, it tells of the encounter between a prince and a poor boy who, by swapping their clothes and identities, end up living each other's lives and discover the enormous gap between the court and the streets.
Published in 1976, it belongs to the Historias famosas collection, number 20. Adapted by Salvador Tort Montserrar, with illustrations by Cándido Ruiz Pueyo and literary script by Miguel Cussó Giral.
Given its childlike and youthful nature and its colour illustrations, it is suitable for young readers approaching Mark Twain's work for the first time.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
