Hans Brinker; Or, The Silver Skates

About this book

Originally published in 1865, this early novel is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It is a fictional work by American author Mary Mapes Dodge and is a tale of early nineteenth century Dutch life. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of anyone interested in early American literature. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
