Description

Alpine goat-boy Moni faces a hard bargain when Jörgli’s pressure and a jeweled cross pull honesty, fear, and loyalty into the high pastures, and only courage can save the goat he loves. Childhood faith meets temptation on the mountain path. Spoken as when Moni the goat boy still asks what a child will risk to keep a creature safe.

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.
