Heidi (1881) is a children's novel written by Swiss author Johanna
Spyri. One of the best-selling books of all time, Heidi is not only
a defining work of Swiss literature, but a beloved masterpiece of
children's fiction. It was adapted into a 1937 film starring
Shirley Temple, and has since gone on to inspire numerous feature
films, television series, and animated works. It is especially
popular in Japan, serving as source material for the early hit
anime series Heidi, Girl of the Alps. Heidi, a young orphan girl,
is sent by her aunt to live with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps.
A reclusive man, he is known as the Alm-Uncle by the townsfolk he
avoids and disdains. Although initially wary of Heidi's presence,
he soon softens, learning to love the young girl and to appreciate
her inherent goodness and unusual intelligence. Although she wants
to go to school, he refuses on account of his distrust of the town
and its people. Despite this, Heidi befriends a neighboring
family-a young goatherd named Peter, his mother Brigitte, and her
elderly mother-who eventually accept her as one of their own. When
her aunt Dete returns to take her to Frankfurt, however, her
newfound life in the country is exchanged for one of service in the
city. There, she works as a companion for Clara, the crippled
daughter of a wealthy family. The two become fast friends, and in
exchange for her love and affection, Heidi is encouraged to learn
reading and writing, as well as to study the teachings of
Christianity. She misses the countryside, however, and longs to
return to the Swiss Alps once more. Beloved by readers around the
world for well over a century, Johanna Spyri's Heidi is a classic
tale of faith and friendship with lessons for children and adults
alike. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Johanna Spyri's Heidi is a classic of
Swiss literature and children's fiction reimagined for modern
readers.

Heidi is the heart-warming tale of a small girl's power for good,
and it has remained a firm favourite since it was published over
100 years ago. It has been filmed and televised several times. It
tells of the orphan Heidi and her idyllic existence with her gruff
grandfather in the mountains. When she is sent to live in a city,
comic chaos ensues, and eventually it is arranged that Heidi should
return to the mountains. Together she and her friend Peter, the
goat-herd, achieve wondrous changes in the community in which they
live.
When Heidi's Aunt Dete brings the orphaned girl to live with her
grandfather, no one can imagine the bitter, solitary old man caring
for a child. But, to everyone's surprise, the two grow to love each
other - and Heidi blossoms in her new home. Johanna Spyri's
charming story - and spirited heroine - have won children's hearts
for more than a century. Abridged for easier reading and carefully
rewritten, with "Classic Starts[trademark]", young readers can
experience the wonder of timeless stories from an early age.

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.
