Heidi
Originally published in 1880 in two parts, Heidi is a novel about the events in the life of a young girl in her grandfather’s care, living in the Swiss Alps. Johanna Spyri creates in Heidi a heroine that is young, endearing, intelligent, and charming, alongside a cast of unique characters both memorable and unique, and a fascinating portrait of a small Alpine village. And, of course, it is not without life lessons: appreciating nature, staying attuned to the less fortunate, having respect for and helping others, and being true to oneself.
