A young girl is sent to live in a remote spot high in the Alps with the reclusive grandfather she has never met, and all the villagers are concerned for her welfare. But Heidi quickly learns to love her new life. When she is taken away to Frankfurt to work as a companion in a wealthy household, Heidi dreams of returning to the mountains and, most of all, to her beloved grandfather. This edition of the novel that has enchanted children since 1880 contains luminous illustrations and a spirited foreward by Beverly Cleary. A wonderful treasure for any child who loves to read or who wants to be introduced to the joys of stories.
