"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.
