(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Gary A. Lippincott. With an emphasis on dialogue, Mayer retells Twain's well-known story about the prince and the poor boy who swap clothing for a lark and end up in trouble when they are mistaken for each other. An author's note provides background information about Twain's novel and the real King Edward VI. Lippincott's realistic watercolors portray the wretchedness of the lower classes and the sumptuous wealth of the castle.
