The beloved 1865 children's book, exhaustive in its detail of daily life in 19th-century Holland. The impoverished Brinker children yearn for a pair of silver skates, but they must make do with skates of wood -- unless Hans can win the annual skating competition. It's a children's classic -- and the source of the famous tale of the boy who plugged a dike with his thumb. Ages 9-12
