Edgar Alfred Jepson (1863 - 1938) was an English writer, principally of mainstream adventure and detective fiction, but also of some supernatural and fantasy stories that are better remembered. He used a pseudonym R. Edison Page for some of his many short stories, collaborating at times with John Gawsworth, Hugh Clevely and possibly Arthur Machen, long-term friends.

'The Terrible Twins' is a novel written by Edgar Jepson. The story begins by immediately introducing us to the protagonists of the book, two siblings, Violet and Hyacinth, who were having a loud argument about who hit a bull-terrier with more stones. The siblings were very different in appearance, with Violet having dark features and Hyacinth having fair features.
