Book Review - Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and Their New Skates

About the Book
Early one Christmas morning in Sweden, Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka opened their eyes. Soon they would have their Christmas gifts! For the first time in over thirty years, this classic holiday tale returns, in a deluxe hardcover edition. Longtime fans of the series will delight in revisiting the story, and new readers will find fun and excitement as the girls must save their friend Bertie after an ice-skating disaster.

Paperdolls included.

About the Author

Maj Lindman (Mrs. Maj Lindman Hulten) lived in Stockholm, Sweden (1886-1972). She attended the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm, and also studied art in Paris, France. She wrote and illustrated numerous children's books, but she is best known for her delightful tales of triplet girls Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka and their boy counterparts, Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr.

MAJ LINDMAN CLASSICS

Originally published in the '40s and '50s, these wholesome adventures of three little Swedish girls, Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka, and three little boys, Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr, are timeless tales of childhood. Author Maj Lindman's delightful illustrations complement her warm, gentle tales of kindness and courage.

My Take on the Book
This was such a fun story that brings you back in time. The timeless nature of this book and the story itself were ones that my girls just thoroughly enjoyed. On top of this though, I have to be honest and say that outside of the great story itself, my girls really enjoyed playing with the paper dolls that came with the book itself. This book, which is part of a larger series is a great addition to a Christmas collection that any home holds within it!
