Vinzi: A Story of the Swiss Alps

Johanna Spyri (1827 - 1901)
Translated by Elisabeth P. Stork (1888 - 1968)

At 12 years old, Vinzi's only desire is to study his beloved music. But his father wants to make a farmer of him, and is displeased whenever he finds Vinzi yielding to his musical inclination. Mother and sister look on wistfully as circumstances go beyond their control, but throughout, they trust to the protection of their Father in Heaven.
