UP THE MOUNTAIN
"From the pleasant old town of Mayenfeld, a shady path leads to the base of the mountains which gaze down upon the little valley. Then the path turns sharply upward, while the keen scent of mountain herbs begins to steal up from the earth.
"On a sunny morning in June, a young Swiss woman was climbing the path, leading a little girl by the hand. In spite of the June sun, the child was wearing two dresses, one on top of the other, and thick red shawl. Thus clad, and wearing heavy shoes, the odd little figure trudged sturdily up on the mountain path."
Johanna Louise Spyri (1827-1901) is one of Switzerland's most-beloved authors, as the creator of Heidi, the story of the orphan girl who melts a grandfather's heart and wins the hearts of all who meet her. Heidi has been in continuous print since it was first published in 1880.
