Ӕ Did this on Serial Reader for my classic for the year, and after I got used to the language, and once the plot was in full swing, I liked it a lot. I kept wondering what Mark Twain’s purpose in writing it was as I read. Was it satirizing the ridiculous levels of deference and care with which a monarch was treated (at one point, the false prince/king was dressed by an assembly line of about 20 people) and contrasting it with the suffering of the masses? I think probably that was part of it. Then I wondered if his depiction of Edward as a kind and merciful monarch (both the fake and the real one) was historically accurate, and his book was a reimagining of how that came to be (he’d had a chance to see how the poor folk of the realm lived and had seen how unfair and harsh the laws were because he lived among them for a time). I don’t actually know how accurate that is—from the small amount of googling I’ve done, it seems like he was influenced by his protectors because he was so young—so maybe there’s more fancy in Twain’s depiction than anything else. I will say it was an enjoyable story, especially towards the end, and I was clapping my hands at how it all turned out.
