Heimatlos Two Stories For Children And For Those Who Love Children
Author: Johanna Spyri

The literal rendering has been sacrificed only in a few instances, and then because of decal idioms and national standards. It is the hope of the translator that these two stories, so widely read by the children of Germany, will help our own little ones, in these days of general prosperity, to appreciate the everyday comforts bf home, to which they grow so accustomed as often to take them for granted, with little evidence of gratitude.

Taking a diagonal path from the street back to the mountains, one comes to a smaller village known as Sils-Maria. Here, a little aside from the highway, in a field, two dwellings stood opposite each other. Both had old-fashioned doors and tiny windows set deep in the wall. One house had a garden, where herbs and vegetables and a few straggling flowers were growing. The other, which was much smaller, had only an old stable with a couple of chickens wandering in and out of it. At the same hour every morning there came out of this forlorn little house a man who was so tall that he had to stoop in order to pass through the doorway.
