Hans Brinker and his sister Gretel would love to enter the great ice skating contest with all the other children. Who wouldn't? The winner will receive a magnificent pair of silver skates! But wearing their old wooden skates that squeak and moan on the ice, Hans and Gretel don't stand a chance. And there's no money for new skates--not with their father so terribly ill.

Suddenly, the Brinker family's luck seems to change. Almost magically, Hans and Gretel receive enough money to buy themselves some real skates.

This is the complete and unabridged version. (343 pages)
