The Japanese Twins

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Japanese Twins by Lucy Fitch Perkins. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. 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. Of course, Taro and Take do not live alone in the house in the garden. Their Father and Mother live there too, and their Grandmother, who is very old, and the Baby, who is very young. Taro and Take cannot remember when Grandmother and Father and Mother happened, because they were all there when the Twins came; and the Twins could not possibly imagine the world without Father and Mother and Grandmother. But with the Baby it was different. One day there wasn't any Baby at all, and the next day after that, there he was, looking very new but quite at home already in the little house in the garden, where Taro and Take lived. - Summary by Lucy Fitch Perkins For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go…
