Welcome to Litsy!

@KassKho I can‘t stop seeing them! This is an undated edition published in Wisconsin (that hot bed of publishing). #theheidiproject

The #higherground of the Alps provides healing in this classic. Heidi goes to live in the mountains with Alm-Uncle and quickly discovers the beauty of living in nature. When she is forced to live in Frankfurt she prays for a return to the mountains. Faith, family, and friendship all figure heavily in this book, which I adored as a child (leading to a years along obsession with Switzerland and goat‘s milk). #heroine #getmovin #litsyclassics

@KassKho #theheidiproject is probably finished, but I saw this in an antique store and thought of you. I think it's from 1944

I haven't bought any of these Puffun/Pantone books yet, but they're very tempting. Although I think The Wizard of Oz should have a rainbow spine, not just yellow. 😀🌈

Also, here's another Heidi for #theheidiproject, @KassKho

I found this at my library book sale yesterday and brought it home for #theheidiproject Hope it's not too late!
Also, the illustrations are done by Jessie Wilcox Smith who was a famous local artist. I had just attended a discussion of her life at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

@KassKho Here is my copy of Heidi for #TheHeidiProject. Its copyright date is 1901 from A. L. Burt Publishing Company. H. A. Melcon was the translator. It has full color illustrations by Anne Merriman Peck every few chapters. My friend who owns and runs a coffee shop and used bookstore sold it to me.

Reading my own copy of Heidi so I can write my report for #theheidiproject ! I'm still looking for a few more covers of the book so let your friends know to show off their books :)

Heidi books on my shelves for #theheidiproject @KassKho

On "my" shelves but taken from my sister many years ago; it's all water under the bridge now. ? The Heidi book (right) is by an Indian press, St. Paul Publications, and it's from 1976 with illustrations by Ian Pinto. And I just realised that Heidi Grows Up was written by Charles Tritten, Spyri's translator. This edition is also from 1976, by The Children's Press.

Here are my Heidis for #theheidiproject. The one with the blue cover was published in 1921 and has lovely illustrations by Maginel Wright Enright. The other two are approximately from the 1960s, although the one on the bottom right is copyright 1945.
