This reissue is one of an extensive series about Swedish triplets Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka. While trying out their new skates, the resourceful sisters rescue a boy who has fallen through the ice. Despite this excitement, the narrative sounds wordy and stilted. Some of the illustrations look stiff, though the identical girls have a certain appeal. Paper dolls are included.
