Heidiland

by loisl - last update: Jan 18, 2005

Welcome to the home of Heidi

Heidi - Heidiland
Heidi is the most successful and best-known "literary" child of that famous Swiss author, Johanna Spyri. In the eleven decades since Heidi first appeared, her presence has continued to shine as a significant life force. Heidi has been translated into about 50 languages and printed in an equivalent number of millions of copies. Heidi has appeared in print, in film, and on television all over the world. She has maintained her character despite the changing tides of literary trends, the pointed pens and pencils of her critics, and even the generosity of her closest admirers.

 Lovely Maienfeld page with excellent photographs. The Old Town and the Swiss Army Museum look wonderful to visit and explore. Walking in the wineyards certainly sounds relaxing! ~ho & pang

 Glaub es oder nicht, aber ich war noch nie in Heidiland! Dafür hatte ich auch mal die Schoggibriefmarke :)
