Excerpt from The Story of Rico To Our Boys and Girls: If you have read some of Johanna Spyri's books you will not want to wait to hear what we would like to say to you, but will want to start right off to read the story. If, however, you have not read any of her stories, we would like to tell you that she was born almost one hundred years ago, in a little country called Switzerland, which has very high mountains and very deep valleys. She loved girls and boys and always wanted to write stories for them, but she never wrote any until she was quite old, and of course she did not know how to speak English, because the language she learned as a child was German. The girls and boys who could read German liked her stories so well that the woman who translated this story decided to write it just as Madame Spyri would have written it if she had known English. The translator has been care ful to preserve the simple, direct sentences that have made this story so attractive to young people.
