Person
Johanna Spyri (1827-1901) was born Johanna Louise Heusser in Hirzel, Switzerland. In 1852, she moved to Zurich, where she began to write stories about life in the country. Although she wrote more than fifty stories before passing away, Johanna Spyri is best known for Heidi, the story of an orphan who goes to live with her grandfather on the mountain.
