Description

Young Sami endures hardship and loss with his grandmother Mary Ann, finding courage and comfort in faith and in the birds? songs around him. Spyri?s gentle story of nature, endurance, and hope returning after grief. Birdsong becomes solace and companionship through a childhood that has already known want.

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.
