Read a book from each country discussion

Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge. Ok, this is a children's book, but I read it to my daughter when she was young (and we were living in Belgium-not too far away) and I really appreciated the history and descriptions of the area.

I have "Hans Brinker" on my shelf. I read it so long ago. I can't remember any of it. I am going to pull it out and read it again.

Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
Lust for Life by Irving Stone
