I would rather be with my grandfather on the Alp than anywhere on earth

When Heidi is sent to live in the Swiss mountains with her bad-tempered old Grandfather, everyone in the village feels sorry for her. What will a little girl do in such an isolated home, and with such a grumpy companion? But Heidi soon discovers a secret: Grandfather isn't nearly as cross as he looks--plus she can play all day in the fields among the bright flowers. But then Heidi is whisked away again to be a companion to a injured girl in the city. She longs for her beautiful mountain home--how will she ever get back again?

Johanna Spyri was born in a country village in Switzerland in 1827. Her father was a doctor and she had five brothers and sisters. Later she moved to the capital Zurich to go to school and she eventually settled there with her husband Bernhard, who was a lawyer. Johanna began writing in 1871 and wrote many stories which quickly became very popular. Her husband and son both died tragically in 1884, but Johanna consoled herself with charity work and writing, as well as looking after her orphaned niece. She died in her Swiss village home in 1903. Heidi is Johanna Spyri's best known and most popular novel - it has been translated from German into over fifty languages and over fifty million copies have been sold worldwide.

Richard Johnson works from a humble studio situated on the edge of a vast wood somewhere in Lincolnshire, England. He's been drawing since he was old enough to hold a pencil, these days he enjoys making pictures for all sorts of reasons; whether they're for Children's Books, Advertisements, Magazines, School Visits, Mural Paintings or more personal projects. He's been working as an illustrator since graduating with a first degree in Illustration since 1999.
