Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates
Mary Mapes Dodge
Hardcover (International Collectors Library, Jan. 1, 1986)270 pages, International Collectors Edition with beautiful intricate gold cover design, bookmarks, nice endpapers. Classic work by Mary Mapes Dodge, a story of life in Holland. Originally published in 1865, the story is set in the Netherlands and concerns the fortunes of the impoverished Brinker family. The good deeds of the Brinker children (Hans and Gretel) help to restore their father's health and bring about their own good fortune. The plot of the novel, however, is secondary to informative details about Dutch family life and to considerable history and geography of the country, which Dodge had never visited.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Victor Hugo
Hardcover (International Collector's Library, Aug. 16, 1980)The story is quite expansive, but filled with a great variation of characters and turns of events. I am always impressed that our human history has changed over the centuries but people's characters seem to still follow similar patterns. The hunchback and Esmeralda have impressed me the most. Both facing huge difficulties and obstacles in their lives but both remaining true to their basic decency and compassion for others. ( Amazon customer)
