Synopsis "Hans Brinker: The Silver Skates, A Story of Life in Holland"
"The story of Hans Brinker, or of any boy born and bred in Holland, cannot be fitly told without including something of the story of Holland itself-of its history, its oddities, and the leading characteristics of its heroic and thrifty people."-Mary Mapes Dodge, preface, Hans BrinkerA beloved childhood favorite for a century and a half-and a book that readers continue to enjoy and appreciate long into adulthood-Hans Brinker, the Silver Skates (1865) by Mary Mapes Dodge went through more than 100 editions during the author's lifetime alone. This replica of the 1915 edition features beautiful color illustrations by George Wharton Edwards, an impressionist painter, who enlivens the tale of the poor but virtuous Dutch boy in a way that few other artists have achieved. This edition brings the enchanting work of Mary Dodge to a new generation of children.
