《王子与贫儿》是美国作家马克·吐温的代表作。它描写了王子爱德华和贫儿汤姆通过一个阴差阳错的偶然机会互相换了位置,王子变成了穷小子,穷小子却成为了王子。曾经的穷小子汤姆穿着王子的衣服在王宫里尽享荣华富贵,还当上了英国的新国王;而货真价实的王子爱德华却四处流浪,不得不忍受贫穷和乞丐们的欺凌和嘲讽。在好人的帮助下,王子经历了重重劫难,改正了自己的坏习惯,最终回到了王宫;而贫儿汤姆在良心的谴责下,将不属于自己的王位还给了真正的王子。此后,王子成了一位仁慈、勤劳的君主,和他的子民一起过着幸福的生活。

Grade 1-3-Condensing a 400-page novel into a picture book is a monumental task. The Prince and the Pauper is a long moralistic tale with difficult dialogue written in the archaic pattern of the 16th century. It is also a rollicking adventure of drama and narrow escapes. Though more understated than many of Mark Twain's novels, it is also filled with his sly wit and humor. Mayer does manage to convey the basics of the story in readable prose but the nuances of the novel are necessarily lost. For example, the name of Tom's home, Offal Court, which does as much as any description to place the boy's station in life, is not mentioned. Also, some vital connections are not made. The hiding of the Great Seal and Tom's accidental knowledge of its location, which is the key to Edward's eventual recognition as king, is not delineated. The build up of humor in such events as the first royal dinner, where after a series of mistakes and gaffs, Tom is afraid to scratch his violently itching nose, can not be contained in the shortened version. The illustrations, done in realistic watercolors, though often relying too heavily on gaping mouths to portray emotion, pick up the dramatic moments of the story. Ultimately, though, even a skillful picture-book retelling can be no more than a brief summary of the original, and not a substitute for it.

Made less satirical than Mark Twain's classic and simplified for younger readers, this retelling is still a lively romp. A beggar and a prince look so alike that they change places but then cannot immediately switch back. Mayer's (The Unicorn and the Lake) adaptation is serviceable if not sparkling; she retains all the key scenes of the story but flattens Twain's archaisms. While some of the original's sophisticated humor gets lost in the translation, much of it remains. For example, when Edward, the prince, tries telling pauper Tom's parents that he is really the Prince of Wales, Tom's mother responds, "Oh, poor Tom, it's all those books you read that's done this to you." And in court, when Tom is given a finger bowl, he drinks from it, announcing, "This is a very flavorless soup." Lippincott (Bruce Coville's Magic Shop series) vibrantly renders the ragged features of the paupers, and his tableaux are full of life. His palace scenes are ornate, light-filled watercolors of splendor in which the boys' homely, toothy faces seem like the only real and honest things. For readers not yet ready for Twain, this version, like its model, will make them think about their places in the world. Ages 7-up.内容简介
Rich with surprise and hilarious adventure, The Prince and the Pauper is a delightful satire of England's romantic past and a joyful boyhood romp filled with the same tongue-in-cheek irony that sparks the best of Mark Twain's tall tales. Two boys, one an urchin from London's filthy lanes, the other a prince born in a lavish palace, unwittingly trade identities. Thus a bedraggled "Prince of Poverty" discovers that his private dreams have all come true—while a pampered Prince of Wales finds himself tossed into a rough-and-tumble world of squalid beggars and villainous thieves. Originally written as a story for children, The Prince and the Pauper is a classic novel for adults as well—through its stinging attack on the ageless human folly of attempting to measure true worth by outer appearances.《王子与贫儿》是美国作家马克·吐温的代表作。它描写了王子爱德华和贫儿汤姆通过一个阴差阳错的偶然机会互相换了位置,王子变成了穷小子,穷小子却成为了王子。曾经的穷小子汤姆穿着王子的衣服在王宫里尽享荣华富贵,还当上了英国的新国王;而货真价实的王子爱德华却四处流浪,不得不忍受贫穷和乞丐们的欺凌和嘲讽。在好人的帮助下,王子经历了重重劫难,改正了自己的坏习惯,最终回到了王宫;而贫儿汤姆在良心的谴责下,将不属于自己的王位还给了真正的王子。此后,王子成了一位仁慈、勤劳的君主,和他的子民一起过着幸福的生活。
精彩书评
Grade 4-6. Carl Reiner narrates this abridged version of The Prince and the Pauper. It captures the main plot points of the book and retains the rollicking humor of Twain's writing. The story concerns Tom Canty, a poor boy, who bears a striking resemblance to Prince Edward, heir to the throne of England. Through a series of mishaps, the boys change places, and those around them do not believe them when they each claim to be the other boy. Eventually, all ends well, with Edward restored to the throne and Tom retaining a place in his court. Reiner's narration is, at first, a big jarring, since an American accent telling a very British story is unexpected. However, once the story develops, listeners will quickly become engrossed. Various sound effects, such as trumpet fanfares, give the story some color. Overall, this is an entertaining choice for most public libraries.——Melissa Hudak, Roscoe Branch Library, Loves Park, IL
