A vibrant portrait of life set in film, this is a memoir of two identical twin brothers--now 50-year-old picture book artists--who retell their mischievous adventures while growing up as 8-year-old boys in 1948. Seizo and Yukihiko Tashima, known by the Koichi Prefecture as "the brats," love to skinny dip, draw pictures, fish for eel, and--of course--get into double trouble. From learning the basics of sex ed to meeting a mysterious new school friend, Village of Dreams engagingly chronicles the twins' childhood adventures. Recommended. (M. K. Lau)
