The Eskimo Twins - Lucy Fitch Perkins

. .

Résumé :
Great classic for teenagers. Easy to read for all ages. This book has been deemed as a classic and has stood the test of time.

Biographie:
Before Lucy Fitch Perking would publish a story, she would first
read it to a group of children she knew, to see what they would say
about the story. This group included her son Lawrence, his cousins
and playmates.
The first story they listened to was The Dutch Twins. Since the
children in the select group liked it, she published the book, and soon
discovered that many more children loved her story. As a result she
wrote even more Twins books, which more than two million copies
were sold around the world.
These books have since gone out of print. However, the stories
she told are still relevant today, and it would truly be a tragedy for the
children of today to miss these wonderful stories.
Bluewater Publications is proud to republish her stories, which we
believe will truly enrich the lives and educations of out children.
