Description:Explore the wonders and magic of this unforgettable classic and take an exhilarating step back in time! A celebrated children’s classic filled with thrilling adventure! Irish Twins by Lucy Fitch Perkins takes us on a delightful journey with Irish twins Larry and Eileen. We enjoy a visit to Granny Malone's with Irish twins Larry and Eileen and puzzle over the letter she has received from her son in America, a message that sets the stage for a variety of experiences. Along the way, the twins come across gypsies and find a pig trapped in a bog, which changes the course of events for their family. We get a clear picture of the close-knit rural community life in Ireland a century ago as we accompany Larry and Eileen on their escapades.From the jacket of the treasured “In 1910, at a crowded school in a poor section of Chicago, Lucy Fitch Perkins found children from twenty-seven different countries learning together. This experience instilled in her a vivid awareness of the task that faced American to bring out of this potpourri of races one unified nation. Her idea grew into a series of stories, some with geographical backgrounds, others with historical settings. Her goal was to increase sympathy and understanding for the unique qualities of the different nationalities and the heritage left to them and to us by our forebears. The Twins books have received acclaim from librarians, teachers, and parents, but, more important, from the children themselves.” ‘Grannie reached for the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea. As she sipped it, she said to the twins, “Did you ever hear of the Leprechauns? Little men they are, not half the bigness of the smallest baby you ever laid your two eyes on. Long beards they have, and little pointed caps on the heads of them.“And it’s forever making the little brogues (shoes) they are, and you can hear the tap-tap of their hammers before you ever get sight of them at all. And the gold and silver and precious things they have hidden away would fill the world with treasures.’ "A stunning reprint" At Ginger Classics, we take every step possible to ensure the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
