A review by kathryneh
Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge

3.0

I am totally amazed that this book was written in 1865. [a:Mary Mapes Dodge|48593|Mary Mapes Dodge|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1248271476p2/48593.jpg] is an American author yet this book is so detailed in Holland history, geography and lifestyle I often felt she lived there. I am glad to have read this story although, for me, there was a bit too much history for me and not quite enough story.
