American novelist Mary Mapes Dodge's work Hans Brinker was first released in 1865. The book is set in the Netherlands and is both a story of adolescent honor and a vivid fictional depiction of Dutch life in the early 19th century. The exquisite silver skates awarded to the victor of the ice skating competition Hans Brinker aspires to compete in are referenced in the book's title. American readers were introduced to Dutch speed skating through the book, and Hans Brinker continues to be portrayed in American media as the ideal speed skater. The book is also significant for making the tale of the young Dutch boy who uses his finger to plug a dyke popular. The book was written by Mary Mapes Dodge when she was 34 years old; she had never been to the Netherlands before the book was released. The extensive, multi-volume history books The Rise of the Dutch Republic (1856) and History of the United Netherlands by John L. Motley served as inspiration for her (1860-1867). Dodge then conducted an additional bibliographical study on the nation. Her immigrant Dutch neighbors, the Scharffs, also provided her with a wealth of first-hand knowledge about Dutch culture.
Paljudesse keeltesse tõlgitud ja Prantsuse Akadeemia auhinna pälvinud "Hõbeuisud" on lihtne siiras lugu 1840. aastate Hollandist. Hans ja Gretel, vaese Brinkerite perekonna lapsed, unistavad aasta suurima uisutamisvõistluse võidust ja imelisest auhinnast - hõbeuiskudest. Ajastuomaselt on jutustus sentimentaalne, rõhutades voorust, väärikust, töökust ja lahkust. Tänapäeva lugejale teeb "Hõbeuisud" huvitavaks enam kui 150 aasta tagune vaatepunkt ning põiked Hollandi ajalukku ja igapäevaellu, nagu M. M. Dodge seda ameeriklastele tutvustada tahtis. "Hõbeuiskude" esmatrükk ilmus 1865. aastal Ameerikas. Arvatavalt oli Mary Elizabeth Mapes Dodge (1831-1905) saanud inspiratsiooni Ameerika kirjaniku John L. Motley (1814-1877) teostest "Hollandi vabariigi sünd" (The Rise of the Dutch Republic) ja "Ühendatud Madalmaad" (The United Netherlands), aga ka oma hollandi emigrantidest naabritelt. Autor ise käis Hollandis alles pärast raamatu ilmumist. Käesoleva raamatu kaanepilt on võetud 1914. aasta Briti väljaandest, autor Warwick Goble. Selle raamatu sisupildid on 1932. aastal Looduse Kuldraamatu sarjas ilmunud esimesest eestikeelest väljaandest.

Yet, he is also very concerned for his father, who has been injured from a fall off of a dike and in need of surgery.

As their father is sick, Hans Brinker and his younger sister Gretel must work to support their family. Despite this life of poverty, they long to take part in the annual ice-skating races on the frozen canal, where the victors win magnifi cent silver skates. But how can they hope to enter the races - let alone win - when their skates are wooden and home-made? After meeting the famous surgeon Dr Boekman, and hearing that he might be able to cure their father, Hans doesn't hesitate in offering to pay for the necessary operation, although he has been saving up all his money to buy two pairs of swift steel skates. As the big day looms, can the children enter their respective races and win the longed-for prize?
