Description

Two Swiss childhood tales side by side: Rico’s path and Wiseli’s, each meeting hardship and kindness in Alpine village life. Spyri’s stories of belonging and quiet courage, spoken warm and clear, without turning the two lives into one family the book never wrote.

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.
