Heidi
Overview & Summary
Orphaned young Heidi is sent to live with her gruff, reclusive grandfather high in the Swiss Alps, where her cheerful, open-hearted nature gradually softens his isolation -- until she is uprooted again to the city of Frankfurt as a companion to an invalid girl, and must find a way back to the mountains she loves. Johanna Spyri's 1881 novel is one of the best-known children's classics of European literature, celebrated for its vivid Alpine setting.
