The Swiss Twins

By Lucy Fitch Perkins

Lucy Fitch Perkins was forty-eight when she was approached by a publisher friend who, impressed by her talents as both an illustrator and writer, which he knew through correspondence, urged her to write. He was so earnest that she thought of an idea for a children’s book the next morning, and she immediately set to work making sketches and preparing the idea for presentation. The publisher came to dinner at their house the next evening and she showed him the idea. His response was immediate “go ahead and write it, and I want it”. That book was The Dutch Twins, the first in what became a long running and wildly popular series. Here we publish another in that series 'The Swiss Twins'.

Reviews for The Swiss Twins

[largeroomlibrary · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

There stood a tiny table against the kitchen wall, with a little gray mouse on it nibbling on a piece of cheese...suddenly three children rushed into the small Swiss house on top of themountain.the little gray mouse clutched the piece of cheese and ran into its little hole on the side of the kitchen wall.This is a wonderful story of a cuckoo and three sweet little childrenwho love to go with the goats up to the beautiful green pastures...
