Mary Dodge: Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates

The story of the late 19th century American writer Mary Mape Dodge tells children in detail about the life of the "anchored country" - Holland. Here, wooden skates cut through the ice of frozen canals: Hans and Gretel, brother and sister, whose adventures have been admired by thousands of readers for more than 150 years, are hurrying to school. In this story there is a journey through the Dutch cities on skates, and true friendship, and ice skating competitions, and even an unexpected miracle that makes you worry, empathize and rejoice at how wonderful the fate of already beloved heroes is.
It will appeal to everyone who loves thoughtful travels to different countries, kind and touching stories with many heroes, a happy ending and a bit of magic.
