Heidi

Description

Parents need to know that Heidi is a classic story by Swiss author Johanna Spyri, first published in 1880. It’s beautifully written, but it may not be not to every contemporary kid’s taste. It tells the story of an orphaned young girl sent to live with her grandfather in the mountains of Switzerland. Orphaned Heidi is taken to live with her grandfather, a grumpy hermit. But the bond of love that grows between them is disrupted when Heidi is taken to live in the city as a companion to an invalid girl.
