Description

Orphan Heidi is sent to her reclusive grandfather in the Swiss Alps and brings joy through nature's healing pull to him and to those she meets, including Clara. Spyri's warm classic of innocence, friendship, and mountain air that remakes a life. Spoken as when the high pastures teach more kindness than any city schoolroom.

Author

Johanna Spyri (1827–1901) wrote Heidi, the Swiss mountain story that made alpine air a moral climate. A Zürich pastor's daughter, she turned goats, grandfathers, and city rooms into a plot of homesickness and recovery that children still climb. Spyri wrote more than the one famous book: stories of Swiss village life, faith, and the difference a landscape can make to a character. Heidi's success was immediate and international.
