Product Information

Mam'zelle! What on earth is a Mam'zelle? If you're French or maybe English, you probably know but the avid readers of Enid Blyton books in a host of countries right round the world will also find out and even relate to this extraordinary character. You care about the principles of freedom, and with the Tuttle Twins, you now have a way to teach these values to your children . And freedom-loving parents like you might question whether your kids could be interested in—and understand!—these real-world concepts. And now that we’ve sold over 4 million copies, the market has spoken… countless parents agree and are seeing the magic play out in their homes. June Gibbons (born 11 April 1963 [2]) and Jennifer Gibbons (11 April 1963 – 9 March 1993) were identical twins who grew up in Wales. They became known as "The Silent Twins", since they only communicated with each other. They wrote works of fiction. Both women were admitted to Broadmoor Hospital, where they were held for 11 years.

Also included is an epilogue on Eva's incredible recovery and her remarkable decision to publicly forgive the Nazis. Through her museum and her lectures, she dedicated her life to giving testimony on the Holocaust, providing a message of hope for people who have suffered, and worked toward goals of forgiveness, peace, and the elimination of hatred and prejudice in the world. According to Wallace, the girls had a longstanding agreement that if one died, the other must begin to speak and live a normal life. During their stay in the hospital, they began to believe that it was necessary for one of them to die, and after much discussion, Jennifer agreed to make the sacrifice of her life. [16] In March 1993, the twins were transferred from Broadmoor to the more open Caswell Clinic in Bridgend, Wales. On arrival, Jennifer could not be roused. She was taken to the hospital, where she died soon after of acute myocarditis, a sudden inflammation of the heart. [17] [2] There was no evidence of drugs or poison in her system. [18]

There aren’t any other children’s books that present a vast array of free-market topics in such a fun way. The books teach relevant freedom-based concepts that most of us were never taught as kids. But it’s not too late! The Twins, also known as the Hutt Twins, [2] referred to a Hutt brother and sister who were crime lords during the New Republic Era. They were cousins of Tatooine crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, and when Boba Fett usurped the throne of Tatooine from Bib Fortuna as the new Daimyo, the Twins traveled to Mos Espa and confronted Lord Fett, laying claim to Jabba's territory. They were carried on a litter through the streets of Mos Espa, and employed many servants, a drummer, as well as the gladiator and bounty hunter Krrsantan. [1]

As the founder and president of a thriving non-profit and the author of over two dozen books, I’ve spent years trying to figure out simple and effective ways of teaching other people important principles. Along the way, I came to realize something: kids can understand these ideas, too.

Easily one of the most captivating books I've read this year' Emma Christie, author of Find Her First And today, millions of children are reading the Tuttle Twins books, learning the dangers of socialism, the benefits of freedom, the importance of entrepreneurship, and more!

I’m including this set of identical twins partly because they are iconic, and partly because I gave a critically acclaimed performance as Tweedledum in my primary school’s production of Alice Through the Looking Glass, so I feel a powerful connection to the character. Perhaps surprisingly given how well-known they are, Tweedledum and Tweedledee only feature in a single chapter of Through the Looking Glass. They recite a poem to Alice, taunt her with some weird philosophical banter, and then run away from a massive crow.

From a bad beginning which includes a fight with one of the teachers, the twins' better sides become apparent and they begin blending a little and enjoying the reactions of their educators to the japes of one irrepressible girl in their class. As in our own schools there are some extremely talented students at St Clare's and you will be amazed by their prowess. There is a class-clown and a brilliant one at that. You'll meet her. Pat and Isabel even attend an enormous birthday supper which includes such delicacies as sardines, a pork pie, a cake with almond icing surrounded with sugar-roses, peppermint creams, and to make it more exciting it takes place at 12a.m — (yes a.m) and it's all strictly against the rules but who cares?While twins at Auschwitz were granted the 'privileges' of keeping their own clothes and hair, they were also subjected to Mengele's sadistic medical experiments. They were forced to fight daily for their own survival and many died as a result of the experiments, or from the disease and hunger rife in the concentration camp. Shakespeare was interested in twins. He included not one but two pairs of identical twins in The Comedy of Errors, as well as Viola and Sebastian in Twelfth Night. The latter are obviously not identical, but after Viola disguises herself as a man, they apparently become indistinguishable (some suspension of disbelief is required). This leads to all manner of comedic confusion. Of course, Shakespeare himself was also the father of twins, Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet died at 11, about five years before Twelfth Night was written, and this knowledge gives added poignancy to Viola and Sebastian’s reunion at the end of the play, each having believed the other dead.
