Items related to Hans Brinker: The Silver Skates
The music has commenced ... Where are the racers?All assembled together near the white columns.It is a beautiful sight. Forty boys and girls in picturesqueattire darting with electric swiftness in and out amongeach other, or sailing in pairs and triplets, beckoning,chatting, whispering in the fullness of youthful glee. In a little Dutch village covered in snow, Hans Brinker and his sister, Gretel, glide down the canals on hand-carved wooden skates. Metal skates are much too expensive. Even so, they are two of the best skaters around. A race is announced with two grand prizes: a pair of skates for a boy and another for a girl. Hans and Gretel enter, but will they win the silver skates?

Book Description hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Missing. Cover does not match one shown. Looks like it had some sort of covering that was glued to the cover. See photos. Front cover is coming loose from the binding. There are several loose pages but all appear to be accounted for. The pages are really tan with age but still quite readable. See photo. The previous owner's name is written to the top of the first end paper. Very vintage and fragile book. FAST SHIPPING & FREE TRACKING!. Seller Inventory # 217750
