How not to miss the winter holidays and spend time usefully? Without a doubt, the American writer Mary Mape Dodge knows the answer. After all, her story "Silver Skates" has been read by adults and children all over the world for many years. The main characters of this story are brother and sister living in Holland, Hans and Gretel, who love skating more than anything else in the world. But, alas, their family is poor and cannot afford such luxury. It would seem that the dream of skates is unattainable, when suddenly it turns out that in their native village of Brook there will be a competition for young skaters and the main prize is announced to be silver skates. Friends Jack and Jill, the heroes of the eponymous story by the famous Louisa May Alcott, also know firsthand how to properly spend the winter holidays. But Jack never dreamed that sledding down a hill could end in great trouble and that he would need a lot of courage to cope with the challenge.
Two wonderful winter stories are illustrated by American artists of the late 19th century Allen Doggett and Harriet Roosevelt Richards.
