Per Wikipedia, Lucy Fitch Perkins (1865 ? 1937) Was An American Illustrator And Writer Of Children's Books, Known Best For Dutch Twins (1911) And Its Sequels, The Twins Series.Fitch Started To Write Children's Fiction On A Freelance Basis For Young Folks. She Graduated In 1886 And Took A Job As An Illustrator For The Prang Educational Company Of Boston. A Year Later, She Followed Walter Scott Perry To The Pratt Institute In Brooklyn, New York, To Become His Assistant. Fitch Left On August 18, 1891, To Marry Perkins And Move To Chicago, Illinois.The Chicago Office Of The Prang Educational Company Employed Perkins For The Next 10 Years, Offering Her Opportunities To Teach And Illustrate. In 1905, Her Husband Was Appointed Chief Architect For The Chicago Board Of Education, Allowing Them To Support The Construction Of A New House In Evanston, Illinois.In 1906, Perkins 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. For Each Book, Perkins Would Try To Interview An Individual Who Grew Up In The Given Country To Gain An Understanding Of The Particular Customs. In Later Books In The Series, Such As The American Twins Of The Revolution, History Supplanted Geography As The Basis Of The Twins' Backgrounds. Perkins Sold More Than 2 Million Copies Of Her Books And Was Houghton Mifflin's Most Profitable Author. Her Final Book, The Dutch Twins And Little Brother, Was Published Posthumously In 1938. She Died In Pasadena.
