Publisher's Synopsis
Years ago, in a little country called Switzerland, there lived a little girl who was the daughter of a doctor. That girl was Johanna Spyri, who grew up to write books like Heidi and other tales of Switzerland -- of people who made their scant living farming and sheep raising, of life on the mountains and the challenges of life among the Alps. She wrote of their sorrows and their joys; of children and her love for them and this tale will share all of that with you . . .
