One of these great works, The Prince and the Pauper, is remembered for its unique style, which is an infusion of Clemens' life experiences and historical research, presented in a children's novel. Samuel Langhorne Clemens was inspired to write The Prince and the Pauper by his childhood in the town of Hannibal, Missouri, his loss of his father, and his adventures across America during the Civil War era. To begin a discussion on the infusion of life experiences into a novel, it is most important to start from the beginning, childhood. Samuel Langhorne Clemens grew up in the poor, dusty town of Hannibal, Missouri. At the age of twelve, Clemens suffered the loss of his father, which plunged his family into poverty (“The Prince” 173).

To fully understand Steinbeck's reasoning for writing the novel it is important to look at his family and where he grew up. John Ernst Steinbeck was born on February 27, 1902, in Salinas California. His parents were middle-class people who played many roles in the community and cultural life. His father worked as a manager of a flourmill, and his mother taught in a one-room rural school (Swisher 13).
