A NEW EDITION OF AN OLD FAVORITE.
= —
HANS BRINKER;
or, TRE SILVER SKATES.
A STORY OF LIFE IN HOLLAND.
BY MARY MAPES DODGE.
One vol., 12mo, with sixtv beautiful Illustrations, $1.50.
Hans Brink¬
er has long
been recognized
as one of the
few classics of
juvenile litera¬
ture; the cor¬
dial apprecia¬
tion with which
it was first re¬
ceived increas¬
ing from year to
year, until the
original plates
have become
badly worn from
constant use,
The publishers
have therefore
reissued at half
its original price their beautiful Holiday Edition, of which on its first appearance the
Nation said, " We some time ago expressed our opinion that Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge s delight¬
ful children’s story called ‘Hans Brinker; or, The Silver Skates’ deserved an entirely new
dress, with illustrations made in Holland instead of America. The publishers have just issued
an edition in accordance with this suggestion. The pictures are admirable, and the whole
volume, in appearance and contents, need not fear comparison with any juvenile publication of
the year or of many years.”
