The Prince and the Pauper.
Harper. 1.75

This never-was-but-might-have-been story is truly one "for young
people of all ages." It tells of the exchange of station which
occurred between young Edward Prince of Wales and Tom Canty the (p. 170)
beggar's son. Tom grows to like the stately life, but the noble
young prince learns many a bitter truth about his realm. We are glad
for both boys when the latter, now King Edward VI, comes to his own
again. The author follows closely the life and customs of the day.

In spite of the main incident and its consequences being historically
factitious, the tale presents a vivid picture of the young King and
his people, and the London of that time.

Where go the children, travelling ahead?
Some go to conquer things; some go to try them;
Some go to dream them; and some go to bed._

Where'er a single slave doth pine,
Where'er one man may help another--

That spot of earth is thine and mine!
There is the true man's birthplace grand,
His is a world-wide fatherland!
