学习英语的好读物,值得拥有。
I read this book as I child and bought it for my granddaughter. I re-read it to preview it for her and was very disappointed that it doesn't have any pictures. Throughout the book the author describes things and says, "Here is a picture." But there is only text. I would have paid more for a better edition. It is a great story and still of interest after almost 100 years.
Interesting story, so far. I have not yet finished reading this book, but I do look forward to doing so.
The "Yesterday's Classics" version of The Japanese Twins by Lucy Fitch Perkins is delightful. These are books I read and loved as a child, shared with my children, and now want to pass on to three families of grandchildren. While I've been looking for copies of the old out-of-print books, some of them are really collector's items now and out of my price range. This reprint includes the illustrations and looks very similar to the originals.
Beware of the version which may be available from Tredition Classics. (I ordered The Dutch Twins from this publisher.) There is a huge difference, and I should have heeded the warning of one reviewer about the lack of illustrations in Tredition Classics. The latter has none of the charming illustrations I loved as a child. It doesn't even start each chapter on a new page, but just runs them together. Even though the little "take a look inside the book" link shows the illustrations and something akin to the original fonts, that is completely deceptive.
Unfortunately, it's sometimes hard to tell which you are ordering. So, look carefully. Luckily, the easy return policy is available if you end up with an inferior product!
Although I've only seen the "Yesterday's Classics" for The Japanese Twins, I'm going to bet on it for the other books in this series. I'll be looking for several more to augment my collection for my grandchildren. They are treasures!
I read all the twin books when I was very young, and I'm 60 now. This one is one of my favorites and I was delighted to find it still in print so I could purchase it for my twin grand sons. As a child, reading this book gave me a glimpse into another culture, something which will continue with other generations. Twins will identify with the youngsters in the book and non-twins will wish they were twins.
