Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“[Hans Brinker] has been read by every generation...and will be read by many coming ones with equal pleasure.” —Boston Transcript, 1895
“Against all odds, the story’s rosy-cheeked glow persists...there’s something hopeful and even touching about her view of children who are committed to helping other people.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Hans Brinker [is] probably the most famous children’s story about [Holland] ever written—it is a noteworthy event to young people.” —Public Library Bulletin, 1893
“Hans Brinker was my best boyhood dream. Could I, if I tried terribly hard, become somebody like him? What a shame that hardly anybody knows Hans Brinker anymore. I am delighted that he is being brought back to life.” —Lewis Smedes, Fuller Theological Seminary
