Hans Brinker; or, The Silver Skates is one of those stories which is destined to be a source of perennial delight to generation after generation of children. It tells of life in Holland—a country which changes so little that a story of people who lived there twenty years ago might be told of to-day as well, and it is marked throughout by a vivacity, a freshness, and a healthy vigor which goes straight to the heart of every reader whether he be old or young.

From the Nation.
"The authoress has shown, in her former works for the young, a very rare ability to meet their wants; but she has produced nothing better than this charming tale—alive with incident and action, adorned rather than freighted with useful facts, and moral without moralization."
