The Irish Twins<\/strong><\/h3>\n

by Lucy Fitch Perkins<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Look inside…<\/a><\/p>\n

Description:  With Irish twins Larry and Eileen, we enjoy a visit to Granny Malone’s and puzzle over the letter she has received from her son in America, a letter that sets the wheels in motion for all sorts of adventures. Along the way the twins encounter gypsies and discover a pig stuck in a bog that brings a change in fortune to their family. While following Larry and Eileen on their adventures, we gain a vivid understanding of the close-knit community life of the Irish countryside, as it existed a century ago.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
