Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Puritan Twins As no answering shout greeted her from this direction either, the Goodwife stepped quickly toward a hollow stump which stood a short distance from the cabin. Beside the stump a slender birch tree bent beneath the weight of a large circular piece of wood hung to its top by a leather thong. This was the samp-mill, where their corn was pounded into meal. Seizing the birch tree with her hands, she brought the wooden pestle down into the hollow stump with a resounding thump. The birch tree sprang back lifting the block with it and again she pulled it down and struck the stump another blow, then paused to listen. This time there was, beside the echo, an answer ing shout, and in a few moments two heads appeared above the rows of young corn just peeping out of the ground, two pairs of lively bare feet came flying across the garden patch, and a breathless boy and girl stood beside their mother. They were a sturdy pair of twelve-year olds, the boy an inch or more taller thanhis sister, and both with the blue eyes, fair skin, and rosy cheeks which proclaimed their English blood. There was a gleam of pride in Goodwife Pepperell's eye as she looked at her children, but not for the world would she have let them see it; much less would she have owned it to herself, for she was a Puritan mother, and regarded pride of any kind as altogether sinful. Where have you been all the morning? She said. You were nowhere to be seen and the corn is not yet high enough to hide you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucy Fitch Perkins (1865-1937) was an American illustrator and writer of children's books. Fitch started to write children's fiction on a freelance basis for Young Folks. In 1906, she published her first work, The Goose Girl, a collection of children's rhymes. A year later, she followed with A Book of Joys: A Story of a New England Summer, but both works had limited popular appeal. In 1911, she published The Dutch Twins, her first major work. The book was inspired by friend Edwin Osgood Grover, who saw a picture Perkins drew of a pair of Dutch children. Grover suggested to Perkins that she design a series centered around the twins. Perkins took the advice, and the Twins series were a popular success. She published 26 books in the Twins series for the Houghton Mifflin Company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Puritan Twins: Large Print By Lucy Fitch Perkins One bright warm noonday in May of the year 1638, Goodwife Pepperell opened the door of her little log cabin, and, screening her eyes from the sun with a toilworn hand, looked about in every direction, as if searching for some one. She was a tall, spare woman, with a firm mouth, keen blue eyes, and a look of patient endurance in her face, bred by the stern life of pioneer New England. Far away across the pasture which sloped southward from the cabin she could see long meadow grass waving in the breeze, and beyond a thread of blue water where the Charles River flowed lazily to the sea. Westward there was also pasture land where sheep were grazing, and in the distance a [page 4] glimpse of the thatched roofs of the little village of Cambridge. Goodwife Pepperell gazed long and earnestly in this direction, and then, making a trumpet of her hands, sent a call ringing across the silent fields. "Nancy! Daniel!" she shouted. She was answered only by the tinkle of sheep bells. A shade of anxiety clouded the blue eyes as she went round to the back of the cabin and looked toward the dense forest which bounded her vision on the north. Stout-hearted though she was, Goodwife Pepperell could never forget the terrors which lay concealed behind that mysterious rampart of green. Not only were there wolves and deer and many other wild creatures hidden in its depths, but it sheltered also the perpetual menace of the Indians. Toward the east, at some distance from the cabin, corn-fields stretched to salt meadows, and beyond, across the bay, she could see the three hills of Boston town.1 We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

There are few, even of those who do not study to live by its rules, that are not Willing to acknowledge the efficacy of religion in the hour of death, or on a bed of sickness; though they are inclined to put Off all thoughts of it till that awful period. But in this short history will be seen, (and the truth of the illustration may be perceived by general Observation, ) that if the duties of a Christian profession are not attended to in our lives, its support and consolations in those trying scenes cannot be felt either by the dying or their surviving friends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pan and the Twins Dark athwart the purple twilight of the Campagna there stretched an aqueduct bearing sweet water to Rome. The flight of its arches eclipsed newly risen stars and sprang aloft from among reeds and thickets, where danced the fire-fly and croaked the frog. At the foot of a stone pier, huddled together, bruised and suffering from many blows and many wrongs, there sat a ragged lad. His face had been beautiful save for the grief upon it; but it was stained with tears and distorted with pain. The boy was dark-eyed, with a delicacy of feature and a brooding thoughtfulness of expression akin to the sculptors' Antinous. Now, however, tribulation concealed his good looks, and he wept again at the hopelessness of his position.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pettison Twins It was not given to them as a treat but to aid digestion, and they were told to take only the juice and on no account the pulp. As a consequence the twins loathed juice and hankered for pulp. This latter they had to chew well and keep for maternal inspection to back up their guarantee that they had not swallowed it. So afraid were they that any might get away from them that they deposited each mouthful in their tiny hands, and heroically held on to the disconsolate wads. The whole performance was a mighty horror to them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
