CORNELLI by Johanna Spyri, translated by Elisabeth P.Stork

By Johanna Spyri

Book Overview

CORNELLI, A Story of the Swiss Alps Many writers have suffered injustice in being known as the author of but one book. Such has been the fate of Johanna Spyri, the Swiss authoress, whose reputation is mistakenly supposed to rest on her story of "Heidi." To be sure, "Heidi" is a book that in its field can hardly be overpraised. But the present story is possessed of a deeper treatment of character, combined with equal spirit and humor of a different kind. Cornelli, the heroine, suffers temporarily from the unjust suspicion of her elders, a misfortune which, it is to be feared, still occurs frequently in the case of sensitive children.

Poor Quality Production of a Classic Novel

The process by which this old classic was made into a new paperback was very carelessly done. Page numbers, page headings appear all through the text and there are too many errors to correct within the text if the scanned letters were not made out correctly. For example the letter "h" is almost always rendered "li" or vice-versa. Even the picture on the front is distorted. The story itself is delightful and has some of the same elements as Heidi by the same author.
