Despite living in poverty, their hearts yearn for the annual ice-skating races on the frozen canal, where the victors are rewarded with magnificent silver skates. However, their hopes of participating seem bleak, as they possess wooden and home-made skates, lacking the necessary equipment to compete. Determined to overcome this obstacle, Hans embarks on a quest to meet the renowned surgeon Dr. Boekman, holding onto the hope that his expertise can cure their father's illness. Moved by Hans's selflessness, Dr. Boekman agrees to perform the operation, but with a condition: Hans must use all his savings to purchase two pairs of swift steel skates. As the day of the races approaches, tension and excitement fill the air. Will Hans and Gretel be able to enter their respective races and secure the coveted prize? Their journey showcases the power of determination, compassion, and the indomitable human spirit, reminding us that even in the face of hardship, dreams can be pursued and achieved with unwavering perseverance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 198 x 129 x 24 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781847497208\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mary Mapes Dodge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44093441966330,"sku":"9781847497208","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/cea72df1aabb5fb20a8ef491f5c52747.jpg?v=1630638331","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/silver-skates","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
