Description

When Director Hellmut leaves for business, Cornelli is left with Miss Dorner and Miss Grideelen, whose strict polish drives the lively girl into rebellion until friendship and Martha help her find herself again. Spyri's alpine story of upbringing gone wrong and a child's true nature restored.

Author

Johanna Spyri (1827–1901) wrote Heidi, the Swiss mountain story that made alpine air a moral climate. A Zürich pastor's daughter, she turned goats, grandfathers, and city rooms into a plot of homesickness and recovery that children still climb. Spyri wrote more than the one famous book: stories of Swiss village life, faith, and the difference a landscape can make to a character. Heidi's success was immediate and international.
