Heidi

My name is Heidi and nothing else." Heidi is the story of a precociously innocent and completely irrepressible young orphan girl who is sent to live in the Swiss Mountains with her grandfather, forming a deep attachment to both The Alm and the Alm-Uncle, before being removed to live in the city of Frankfurt as companion to a chronically unwell girl little older than Heidi is herself. It is the story of how this naïve young girl makes a powerful positive impact on the lives of everyone she encounters, while herself surviving the turmoil and upheaval of the changing circumstances of her own life. Heidi is a classic children's story by Johanna Spyri, first published in 1821, which has stood the test of time and remains a vital and positive story for children (and grown-ups, as well) even now in the 21st century. Wild Arancini Classics is delighted to bring you this exciting new edition of Heidi by Johanna Spyri.
