Résumé :
A gentle classic with a living heartbeat. Erick And Sally opens a door to a timeless Switzerland, where quiet days in an alpine village frame the little dramas of family and community. This nineteenth century fiction becomes a vivid, comforting experience for modern readers: a classic children's novel steeped in rural community life and gentle moral tales, and a humane parable about belonging, responsibility and everyday kindness. Its form is as respectful of memory as it is accessible for today's readers-short, lucid, and deeply human-making it appealing for for family readers, school library recommendations, and well-curated shelves in illustrated editions. Erick And Sally stands as a note in literary history: a well-loved Swiss rural novella that offers cultural insight into nineteenth century Switzerland and the values that shaped a generation. Its enduring spirit invites casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, inviting them to discover a story that remains oddly current in its warmth, restraint and sense of community. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition invites you to savour a slice of alpine village life, a tale of family values lessons, and an enduring invitation to timeless sentimentality tales....

Johanna Spyri (June 12, 1827-July 7, 1901) was born in Switzerland. She was a Swiss author whose book for kids, Heidi, became famous all over the world. Her psychological insight into the minds of children, her wit, and her ability to enter into the childish joys and sorrows endow her book with charm and lasting value. After her marriage in 1852 to Bernhard Spyri, a lawyer engaged in editorial work, she moved to Zurich. Her adoration for her homeland, feeling for nature, humble devotion, and cheerful insight gave both her work and her life their interesting quality. Her books include Ein Blatt auf Vronys Grab (1870, A Leaf from Vrony's Grave), Heidi, 2 vols. (1880-81), Heimatlos (1881), and Gritli (1882)....
