Johanna Spyri’s beloved children’s classic, now available in a new edition translated by Marian Edwardes and illustrated by Golden Age American artist Jessie Willcox Smith.
After the death of her parents, Heidi’s strict Aunt sends her to live with her grumpy grandfather in a lonely hut up in the mountains. Heidi learns to love the old man as much as her new life – it’s filled with fresh milk and strawberries, adventures with her new friend Peter, and vast green meadows bathed in warm sunshine. But Heidi’s happiness is short-lived.
When her Aunt returns, this time to take Heidi away for a new life in the city, Grandpa is unable to stop her. Heidi becomes a companion to Clara, a wealthy but sickly girl who lives in a big mansion with servants and behaves like a proper lady.
Suddenly, Heidi feels like a little bird trapped in a gilded cage. She doesn’t care about nice clothes and toys and prefers the freedom of running and playing outside. But Clara needs her help, and though Heidi will do anything to return to her true home in the mountains, how can she find it in her heart to leave her new friend behind?
Simple yet captivating, Heidi is a beautiful tale of finding one’s way back home, of friendship, and of the majestic Alps. Discover the importance of kindness and the healing power of nature and the mountains in this nostalgic read for adults filled with sweet lessons for children.
Now exclusively featured in this edition:
