Such a gorgeous book. I knocked off half a star for all the God stuff, but I thought that actually almost added to the 1800s atmosphere at the same time. The descriptions of the alps are perfect, and having myself lived in Switzerland for 4 months already it was amazing to see Spyri describing them as she knew them all those years ago. Such a cosy and lovely quick Christmas read.
