Book Description
In 1852, Johanna Heusser married Bernhard Spyri. Bernhard was a lawyer. While living in the city of Z�rich she began to write about life in the country. Her first story, A Note on Vrony's Grave, which deals with a woman's life of domestic violence, was published in 1880; the following year further stories for both adults and children appeared, among them the novel Heidi, which she wrote in four weeks. Heidi is the story of an orphan girl who lives with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps, and is famous for its vivid portrayal of that landscape. The golden sunshine of a glorious June morning flooded the roses of the beautiful garden that surrounded a handsome stone villa on the banks of the Rhine. A thousand sweet perfumes borne upon the gentle breeze mounted like incense to the open windows, and sought entrance there. From a great basin in the middle of the garden, a slender shaft of water rose straight up into the blue sky, and then fell plashing back, sprinkling the flowers and the grass with sparkling moisture.

Book Description
Johanna Spyri's "Gritli's Children" is a joyful novella written by the acclaimed Swiss author best known for her classic work, "Heidi." Spyri's lesser-known gem portrays the moving story of Gritli, a tough young girl, and her adventures in the Swiss Alps. Gritli, an orphaned youngster living in a remote mountain community with her grandfather, opens the novella. Gritli's existence is marked by hardship and loneliness until she is befriended by Madle, another country girl. They develop a deep and lasting bond that provides peace and companionship in the midst of life's trials. The spectacular grandeur of the Alpine environment and the simplicity of rural life are captured in Spyri's expressive words. The fundamental themes of the novel focus around the value of friendship, perseverance, and the healing power of nature. Readers are treated to a moving narrative that praises the strength of the human spirit as Gritli and Madle embark on numerous journeys and endure life's hardships together.
