Hans Brinker - 1969 Martin Svikaon Dec 12, 2013 Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates (full title: Hans Brinker; or, the Silver Skates: A Story of Life in Holland) is a novel by American author Mary Mapes Dodge, first published in 1865. The novel takes place in the Netherlands and is a colorful fictional portrait of early 19th-century Dutch life, as well as a tale of youthful honor. The book's title refers to the beautiful silverskates to be awarded to the winner of the ice-skating race Hans Brinker hopes to enter.
