Those who remember Johanna Spyri's story of Heidi will be more than glad of another from her pen. A sick German child is taken to Switzerland, where she passes away. In her place the mother adopts a delicate little Swiss peasant-girl, who has a hard time in caring for her step-brothers and sisters, though she is not abused. The life of the village-school children is vividly depicted and full of nature. The translation, by Louise Brooks, is published by puppies & Hurd, in handsome form. Price, $1.50
