Step back in time with this beautiful antique edition of Johanna Spyri's timeless classic, "Heidi." Published in 1919 by J.B. Lippincott Company, this century-old book has an undeniable historic charm. The handsome blue cloth cover features a lovely gold gilt illustration of Heidi, a design that captures the sweet spirit of the story within.

This particular edition features the wonderful work of celebrated early 20th-century illustrator Maria L. Kirk and was translated by Elisabeth P. Stork. With 319 pages, it is a substantial volume that feels like a piece of history in your hands.

Please note that one page is torn out but is included with the book; its original placement is unknown. Due to this, the book is best suited as a decorative piece or a reading copy. It is a perfect decorative object for a farmhouse-style bookshelf, a child's nursery, or for use as a photography prop. This makes a unique gift for a lover of antique books, a fan of classic literature, or someone who appreciates the beauty of vintage illustrations.

This item is antique, over 100 years old. While it is in good condition for its age, it shows wear and has a torn page that is included but detached. There may be other minor imperfections that I missed.
