Maja Dusíková.
This large-format, unabridged edition of the first volume of the classic tale of a girl and her grandfather in the Swiss Alps features pastoral illustrations whose gentle appeal plays up the story's homiest details and plot points. An afterword by Swiss academic Verena Rutschmann tells more about the tale's history and provides brief and engaging literary analysis.
