   The first book is a short story, featuring both a doting older brother and a doting husband. The doting is genuine, but the discipline is also genuine; the husband even gives the older brother advice on how to discipline him. The second book is a newer, longer one, also featuring a doting older brother. It's about twins: the older brother is calm, introverted, and academically gifted, while the younger brother is lively, extroverted, academically lazy, and often gets into trouble, resulting in beatings from his older brother. The brothers find redemption in each other.
