Vacation with the Tucker Twins

"Vacation with the Tucker Twins" by Nell Speed is an early 20th-century tale that whisks readers away to Willoughby Beach with Page Allison and the mischievous Tucker twins, Dum and Dee, for a summer house party filled with youthful energy. The story begins with Page's arrival at the beach, where she initially feels underwhelmed by its sandy, shade-bereft landscape, especially compared to her beloved green hills. However, alongside the spirited twins, she dives into preparations for welcoming guests to their cottage and encounters the vibrant landlady, Mrs. Rand. Amidst the lighthearted chaos of the twins' antics and exchanges with Mrs. Rand, a funny misunderstanding involving a boy called Sleepy unfolds. As the girls settle in, the scene is set for a summer full of enjoyment, deeper friendships, budding romances, and the comforting bonds of a summer vacation, all while navigating the rules set by their chaperone, Miss Cox.
