This is the vintage book cover readers saw first: the colour label on the blue cloth binding. Heidi leans against a tree on the mountain pasture, one arm round a white goat, with the Alps glowing pink behind her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the picture the title runs in plain capitals between two small goat vignettes; Smith signed in the grass below. Inside the book she added ten colour plates and a vignette for each chapter. Those vignettes are on the other mugs of this series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohanna Spyri, the author of \u003cem\u003eHeidi\u003c\/em\u003e, was born on 12 June 1827, and her two-hundredth birthday in 2027 is the occasion for this anniversary edition.
