AT THE COUNTRY-HOUSE ON THE RHINE"Dear child, " she said now, in a voice which trembled with anxiety and affection, "you know that you are too tired to go out in the morning, but this afternoon, perhaps, we will go down to the river. Will not that be better, my darling?"Oh, yes, I suppose so, " sighed the child, but though she said no more, she did not turn her eyes away from the blooming roses and the waving leaves below her."Oh, it is so bea...

The atmosphere is created by an old Swiss castle and by the romantic associations of the noble family who lived there. Plot interest is supplied in abundance by the children of the Bergmann family with varying characters and interests. A more charming group of young people and a more wise and affectionate mother would be hard to find. Every ...

Along the coast of New Guinea they en...

Rico was almost nine years old and had been to school for two winters. Up there in the mountains there was no school in the summertime, for then the teacher had his field to cultivate and his hay and wood to cut, like everybody else and nobody had time to think of going to school. This was not a great sorrow for Rico, -- he knew how to amuse himself. When he had once taken his place in the morning on the threshold, he would stand there for hou...

The daily promenaders who moved slowly back and forth every afternoon under the shade of the lindens on the eastern side of the pretty town of Karlsruhe were very much interested in the appearance of two persons who had lately joined their ranks. It was beyond doubt that the man was very ill. He could only move slowly and it was touching to see the care with which his little companion tried to make herself useful to him. He supported himself w...

Years ago, in a little country called Switzerland, there lived a little girl who was the daughter of a doctor. That girl was Johanna Spyri, who grew up to write books like Heidi and other tales of Switzerland -- of people who made their scant living farming and sheep raising, of life on the mountains and the challenges of life among the Alps. She wrote of their sorrows and their joys, of children and her love for them and this tale will share ...
