The Italian Twins

148, [2] pp. Glossary of names and Italian words follows text. Through the eyes of Beppina and Beppo, twelve-year-old twins, we catch a glimpse of life in Italy a century ago. "Beppo and Beppina, who, like Daphne and Dion, are very nearly identical, go against the orders of their mother by wandering off during the Spring Festival. This act of disobedience, as in all good moral tales, has the result of the Twins's capture by the Gypsies, who are fascinated by their appearance."
