"For children, what could be better as a gift than a copy of Mrs.
Dodge's 'Hans Brinker; or, the Silver Skates,' of which we are now
given a new and beautiful edition? This is one of the most charming
of juvenile stories, dealing with fresh scenes and a strange life, and
told with sweet simplicity and great beauty."--_Congregationalist._
"'Hans Brinker' is a charming domestic story, which is addressed,
indeed, to young people, but which may be read with pleasure and
profit by their elders. * * The lessons inculcated, are elevated in
tone, and are in the action of the story and the feelings and
aspirations of the actors."--_The Atlantic Monthly._
"This book has been a great favorite, not only in America but in
other lands. The author has every reason to be gratified at the
success and constant popularity of this charming narrative, which
teaches so finely the noblest lessons of character and life, while
picturing the customs and scenes of Holland."--_Boston Advertiser._
