Florina and the Wild Bird

Information about the author In 1945, the "Uorsin" by the Engadin poet and kindergarten teacher Selina Chönz was published, which became world famous with the pictures of the painter Alois Carigiet. Ursli is the hero of the story but exodus and homecoming, about independent action and proving oneself. This was soon followed by picture books about his sister "Flurina" and about their experiences in the "Great Snow". In terms of international success, Schellen-Ursli is Heidi's little brother. But looking at the illustrations of Alois Carigiet, he is a monument of Swiss graphic art of the 20th century, an icon of Swiss picture book creation and a genuine ambassador of alpine self-assertion. Thus, tourists from all over the world travel to Ursli's homeland year after year. Most important, however, is and remains his unbroken popularity as the great hero of little heroes. Summary Flu.
