Books by Johanna Spyri
Schloss Wildenstein
by Johanna Spyri
· published 1892 · last read 2022-10-24
★★★★☆
Book of my childhood. Love it to pieces. Kitsch, of course, it's Spyri after all, and you also need a tolerance for the religious version of Kitsch, but I still like it. Maybe each character only gets 1-2 adjectives, but she really truly believes them and writes good interactions between the five younger siblings, Leonore, and the older generation. This book is part of the 2022 Backlog Incident.
Einer vom Hause Lesa
by Johanna Spyri
· published 1890 · read 2022-10-25
★★★★☆
Look, Spyri's Kitsch just works for me. I can see how it's Kitsch, I can see the super simple story lines and characters, and the repetitive aspects (see my plot summary), and still I'll love it. This book is part of the 2022 Backlog Incident.
