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. Spyri’s mountain tale of conscience, friendship, and a bargain that tests a boy’s heart. The Alps keep score of every choice.

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.
