Autorenporträt

Before Lucy Fitch Perking would publish a story, she would first read it to a group of children she knew, to see what they would say about the story. This group included her son Lawrence, his cousins and playmates. The first story they listened to was The Dutch Twins. Since the children in the select group liked it, she published the book, and soon discovered that many more children loved her story. As a result she wrote even more Twins books, which more than two million copies were sold around the world. These books have since gone out of print. However, the stories she told are still relevant today, and it would truly be a tragedy for the children of today to miss these wonderful stories. Bluewater Publications is proud to republish her stories, which we believe will truly enrich the lives and educations of out children.
