Description

Excerpt from Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates: A Story of Life in Holland

Brinker cottage was empty, and many things in Holland had changed since the days when Hans and his little sister skated on the frozen Y. But, to my joy, every detail of the earlier picture of the country was verified. Holland was still wonderful, - in fact, more wonderful; for time only increased the marvel of its not being washed away by the sea.

Its cities have grown, and, in some of them, national costumes have given place to the conventional European dress of the day. A few of its peculiarities have been brushed away by contact with other nations; but it is Holland still, and always will be; full of oddity, courage and industry, - the pluckiest little country on earth.
