About the Author

Johanna Spyri (1827-1901) was a Swiss short story writer and novelist famous for her writings for both adults and children. She was born at Hirzel, Switzerland. After getting married to a lawyer, she shifted to Zurich. She missed her rural life and liked it more than her urban surroundings and, therefore, she started celebrating the countryside in her work. In 1884, her husband and her only child died. This tragedy turned her towards philanthropy. She continued both her creative and humanitarian work till her death. Her services were honoured in 1951 and 2009 by the issuance, respectively, of a postage stamp and a coin bearing her picture.
