When Heidi, a five-year-old orphan, is dumped on her reclusive
grandfather who lives on a remote mountainside above a Swiss
village, he is none too pleased by her arrival. But Heidi quickly
wins him over with her cheerful disposition and kindness, and
thoroughly enjoys her new life, spending the summer days roaming
the Alpine pastures with young Peter the goatherd. Three years
later, this rural idyll is cruelly interrupted when her aunt
fetches Heidi away to the city as a hired companion for Clara, a
rich girl who is disabled. Clara adores her new friend, but the
family's strict housekeeper tries to repress Heidi's high spirits
and she becomes ill, pining for her mountain home. The resolution
of Heidi's dilemma transforms the lives of everyone around her and
has entranced readers for generations with its vision of the joys
of country life and the power of love and friendship.
