This volume presents together six books of the amazing “Twins” series by Lucy Fitch Perkins (1865-1937), one of the most influential children´s series of the beginning of last century.
For each book, Perkins would try to interview an individual who grew up in the given country to gain an understanding of the particular customs of the country depicted in the book. Later books in the series, such as The Spartan Twins, supplanted history for geography as the basis of the twins' backgrounds.
The books in this volume are:
The French Twins — The Swiss Twins
The Belgian Twins — The Cave Twins
The Spartan Twins — The Puritan Twins
