The Japanese Twins
Buch
From the Author's Introduction... Away, away, ever so far away, near the western shores of the Ocean of Peace, lie the Happy Islands, the Paradise of Children. Some people call this ocean the Pacific and they call the Happy Islands Japan, but the meaning is just the same. Those are only their grown-up names, that you find them by on the map, in the geography.

From the Author's Introduction... Away, away, ever so far away, near the western shores of the Ocean of Peace, lie the Happy Islands, the Paradise of Children. Some people call this ocean the Pacific and they call the Happy Islands Japan, but the meaning is just the same. Those are only their grown-up names, that you find them by on the map, in the geography. They are truly Happy Islands, for the sun shines there so brightly that all the people go about with pleasant, smiling faces, and the children play out of doors the whole year through without ever quarreling. And they are never, never spanked! Of course, the reason for that is that they are so good they never, never need it! Or maybe their fathers and mothers do not believe in spanking. I have even been told--though I don't know whether to think it's true or not--that Japanese parents believe more in sugar-plums than in punishments to make children good! Anyway, the children there are very good indeed. In a little town near a large city on one of the Happy Islands, there is a garden. In the garden stands a house, and in that House there live Taro, who is a boy, and Take (Pronounce Tah'-kay), who is a girl. They are twins. They are Japanese Twins and they are just five years old, both of them.

Über den Autor
Before Lucy Fitch Perking would publish a story, she would firstread it to a group of children she knew, to see what they would sayabout the story. This group included her son Lawrence, his cousinsand playmates.The first story they listened to was The Dutch Twins. Since thechildren in the select group liked it, she published the book, and soondiscovered that many more children loved her story. As a result shewrote even more Twins books, which more than two million copieswere sold around the world.These books have since gone out of print. However, the storiesshe told are still relevant today, and it would truly be a tragedy for thechildren of today to miss these wonderful stories.Bluewater Publications is proud to republish her stories, which webelieve will truly enrich the lives and educations of out children.
