Hans Brinker has
"Goodness Within"
Hans Brinker is poor, the son of the village idiot, a classic underdog. Generations have come to love his solid Dutch sensibility and compassionate determination to cure his father and make a future for himself as a doctor.
Gretel Brinker is as spritely a heroine as the Victorian heart could desire. Sweet and spirited, she has her eye on the silver skates. But, like a Victorian Tonya Harding, her laces keep breaking.
Peter and Hilda are the pampered children of wealthy families, out on a skating lark with their friends. Yet they take time to show compassion, setting them apart from the run-of-the-windmill rich kids.
