Heidi's Lehr- und Wanderjahre: eine geschichte für kinder und auch für solche, welche die kinder lieb haben [Heidi: Her Years of Wandering and Learning]

  • Gotha, Germany: Friedrich Andreas Perthes, 1880
By [Johanna Spyri]
Gotha, Germany: Friedrich Andreas Perthes, 1880. Very Good. Gotha, Germany: Friedrich Andreas Perthes, 1880. First Edition. Octavo. 240 pp. Green quarter cloth with spine stamped in gilt. Boards roughly worn along edges with exposure, tears, and fraying; general scuffing. Binding holding. Ownership inscriptions and scribbling to endpapers and ownership stamp to title. Creasing and light spotting to interior but pages generally unmarked and legible throughout.

Scarce first edition of the first volume of Heidi - the second volume, "Heidi: kann brauchen, was es gelernt hat," would appear the next year. Perhaps due to the fragile quality of paper used, few copies appear to have survived and is uncommon in auction records and retail.
