Details of the project: "Heidi" is a delightful story for children
of life in the Alps, one of many tales written by the Swiss
authoress, Johanna Spyri, who died in her home at Zurich in 1891.
She had been well known to the younger readers of her own country
since 1880, when she published her story, Heimathlos, which ran
into three or more editions, and which, like her other books, as
she states on the title page, was written for those who love
children, as well as for the youngsters themselves. Her own
sympathy with the instincts and longings of the child's heart is
shown in her picture of Heidi. The record of the early life of
this Swiss child amid the beauties of her passionately loved
mountain-home and during her exile in the great town has been for
many years a favorite book of younger readers in Germany and
America.
Madame Spyri, like Hans Andersen, had by temperament a peculiar
skill in writing the simple histories of an innocent world. In all
her stories she shows an underlying desire to preserve children
alike from misunderstanding and the mistaken kindness that
frequently hinder the happiness and natural development of their
lives and characters. The authoress, as we feel in reading her
tales, lived among the scenes and people she describes, and the
setting of her stories has the charm of the mountain scenery amid
which she places her small actors.
