Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates

(J. M. Dent & Sons, Sept. 3, 1956)
This little work aims to combine the instructive features of a book of travels with the interest of a domestic tale. Throughout its pages, the descriptions of Dutch localities, customs, and general characteristics, have been given with scrupulous care. Many of its incidents are drawn from life; and the story of Raff Brinker is founded strictly upon fact.
