It all seems so real and true! because Johanna Spyri was writing about a life she knew and loved. She is a lively, carefree little creature, and in her innocent approach to lifes problems there is a child-like wisdom which brings true happiness, not only to herself, but also to many unhappy grown-up people around her.Ĭhildren still enjoy reading about the Aim-Uncle, Peter the goat-herd, the old, blind grandmother, Clara and the people from Frankfurt, just as generations of children before them have done.

Heidi by Johanna Spyri lands on the shelves of my shop.
