I love writing letters when I can.
And I love sending them with postage stamps.
Especially when I spotted these cute
It's from the animated TV series
A lot of my friends grew up watching this program.
I watched the reruns with my family, too.
I knew the story of
Heidi was from Switzerland.
But here are a few things I did not know about the animation.
1.
This series was made in Japan way back in 1974.
I actually thought it was a
dubbed version of a foreign animation.
But silly me.
I should have known.
It is much too cute to be European.
2.
did the scene design and layout for this animation.
3.
This series has 52 episodes.
It apparently wasn't an instant hit
when it was first broadcast on TV.
But it soon became popular through the reruns.
And it became an international hit as well
being broadcast in over 40 countries.
It's a really great animation to watch with the whole family.
And after this, I think I'm going to go buy another
sheet of this stamp at the post office!
How about you?
