Описание: Hans Brinker is a classic childrens story set in the Netherlands, following the titular character as he aspires to compete in ice skating races and help his family.

At the start, we discover that our young hero is responsible for his entire familys welfare, after his father was injured in an accident. Rather than be downcast by his fathers poor condition, Hans is emboldened and determined to turn the familys fortunes around by competing in ice skating races. The stakes become higher as a potential but expensive cure for Hans stricken father is revealed by the familys doctor.

Today, this tale of youthful gallantry remains well-known and celebrated in the Netherlands. Its accurate details of traditional Dutch life enthralled curious readers and introduced them to a country hitherto little-known in childrens literature. Virtues held highly in the Dutch culture; of both cooperation and competition, are well expressed in the heros character and - as the story progresses - his family members.

In recent years, the story of Hans Brinker has enjoyed renewed prominence from the 1960s onward as TV, film and radio adaptations were created. The author Mary Mapes Dodge, who originated from New York City, would enjoy celebrity in the Netherlands and visited the country multiple times.
