Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge

4.0

Well, this was a delightful surprise. While reading this heartwarming seasonal story (with heaps of adventure woven in), you're also going to casually learn a lot about Holland (now better known as the Netherlands.) Particularly refreshing was the way this story written in the 1800s consistently pointed out the efforts of women anytime an important battle was described.
