Heidi illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith

Jessie Willcox Smith (September 6, 1863 – May 3, 1935) was one of the most prominent female illustrators in the United States during the Golden Age of American illustration. She was a prolific contributor to respected books and magazines during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She illustrated stories and articles for clients such as Century, Collier's, Leslie's Weekly, Harper's, McClure's, Scribners, and the Ladies' Home Journal. She had an ongoing relationship with Good Housekeeping, including the long-running Mother Goose series of illustrations and creating all the covers from 1915 to 1933. Among the more than 60 books that Smith illustrated were Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and An Old-Fashioned Girl, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Evangeline, and Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses.

 Out with the goats

 


 The Visit to Grandmother



Two visits and what came of them
 
 A new Chapter about new things
 
 
Fräulein Rottenmeier spends an uncomfortable day
 
There is great commotion in the large house
 
 
Herr Sesemann hears of things which are new to him
Another Grandmother
Heidi gains  in one way and loses in another
A ghost in the house
 
 
A summer evening on the mountain
 
Sunday bells


 
Preparation for a journey
A visitor
A compensation
 
Winter in Dörfli
 
 
The winter continues
News from distant friends
 
 
How life went on at Grandfather's
Something unexpected happens


"Goodbye till we meet again"
