About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Vinzi: A Story of the Swiss Alps by Johanna Spyri. (Translated by Elisabeth P. Stork.) Read in English by Anita Sloma-Martinez 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. This is another book by Johanna Spyri, author of Heidi. Here too, against the backdrop of the beautiful Swiss alps, she intertwines love, sincerity, and the freshness of youth to present a captivating story for young and old alike. - Summary by Rosebud
