The Irish Twins

by Lucy Fitch Perkins, Lucy Fitch Perkins (Illustrator), Quality Classics (Editor)

Overview

This book is The Third In The “Twins” Series. Larry and Eileen The Irish twins live in a very poor village in Ireland, but they don't seem to mind. They roast potatoes in the ashes of Granny's fire, have a run-in with dangerous Gypsies, and seem to lead a very happy family life. Often they are seen playing with their friend Dennis. This book talks about school life, the culture in Ireland in the early 1900’s, and several times different characters narrate Irish folktales to the children. Illustrated.

I hope you enjoy this book. When I first started reading books on my Nook Library I noticed that there are many free classics available. However the formatting is terrible and some are unreadable because of errors in the text. Therefore, I decided to start publishing quality classics that included chapter breaks, table of contents, linked chapters, and illustrations when available. Keep your eye out for inspirational stories from us, EirenikosPress.
