Welcome to Litsy!

Story time. Yesterday I was looking for my copies of Heidi. I knew I had a few and I came across the one that my brother-in-law gave me after my sister died, I knew it had belonged to my grandmother. Well, I open it up and found a note she had written to my grandmother when she was around eight which means I was about five. I can‘t believe I have this. 🩷

I can only think of sweet and kind Heidi. The original book written by Johanna Spyri is 'Heidi'. Brings back a lot of childhood memories!❤

This is book 3a for #BookSpinBonanza, being the sequel to book 3 haha Written by Charles Tritten, who translated many of Spyri's books, this sequel to the classic was published almost six decades after the original. While a pleasant story, it somehow lacked the charm and timelessness of Heidi. Part of the problem was that the book felt a bit unfocused - Heidi goes to school, but we hear very little of her time there. A lot of the book is ⬇️

More success at the book sale!

A few of these are to donate to G‘s classroom.

@LeahBergen check out those two vintage Heidis. 😍😍

This is my first time reading Heidi. It was my mum's favorite when she was little, so I decided to give it a read. It's such a fast paced, yet sweet story. Can't wait to finish this! #currentlyreading #heidi #johannaspyri #childrensclassic #childrensbook #classics

Finally managed to scrounge together the money for the Puffin Pantone collection! These editions are absolutely gorgeous, I can't wait to display them. The Secret Garden is on my TBR for this month, hopefully I'll get to it soon!! I'm so bad with my TBRs, I always get distracted & end up reading books that aren't on my list 🙈🙈

Time for some Heidi 🏔🐐 #classics #heidi
