117 books22 followersFollowFollowFrom a book jacket: "In 1910, at a crowded school in a poor section of Chicago, Lucy Fitch Perkins found children from twenty-seven different countries learning together. This experience instilled in her a vivid awareness of the task that faced American teachers: to bring out of this potpourri of races one unified nation. Her idea grew into a series of stories, some with geographical backgrounds, others with historical settings. Her goal was to increase sympathy and understanding for the unique qualities of the different nationalities and the heritage left to them and to us by our forebears. The Twins books have received acclaim from librarians, teachers, and parents, but, more important, from the children themselves."

I had my mother's old cloth-bound copy, a greenish color with a simple drawing in gold of the two children. This was my favorite in Perkins "Twins" series. Each book has a different pair of kids in a different place and time. Each book provides a little historical education, a touch of moral lesson, and some adventures. They are pretty easy to under stand so parents can read aloud to child who aren't up to chapter books yet.

Re-reading it now is interesting, but I don't think I'd recommend for family reading--I think some people would find it a bit heavy on gods and omens.Profile Image for Stephanie.Stephanie341 reviewsFollowFollowJanuary 6, 2020Read aloud to kids. It was interesting, but took us a while to get through. The kids definitely perked up during the last few chapters. Other than that, it was pretty slow. (Not that that is always a bad thing.)

I thought when I started it that it would be “too much” for her but she was quick to tell me we needed to continue to read it. It was a delightful story of twin siblings. An idea of what both family life and gender roles would have been like in the lives of the people from Sparta. This goes for their superstitious beliefs and misdirected prayers to the gods and goddesses of their time. It was a short novel but worth the read. ***Negative: good luck in pronouncing easily and correctly all of the names and places mentioned in the book. While accurate for the time and place, a pronunciation guide would have been helpful. Profile Image for Scott.Scott296 reviews10 followersFollowFollowOctober 4, 2023This is a pretty good little book to introduce kids to life in ancient Greece. The characters clearly believe their lives to be influenced by the gods and other supernatural forces, which they try to influence with piety, religious rituals, and even a curse and a spell against the crows eating the crops. The main characters are members a Spartan family that tends the farm of the Athenian leader Pericles on the island of Salamis, allowing for some exploration of the contrast between Athenian and Spartan cultures.
