Summary

Filled with the power of love and the beauty of nature, Heidi is a lyrical tale about a little girl sent to live in the mountains of the Swiss Alps with her grandfather. A grumpy recluse, her grandfather has isolated himself from his fellow townspeople and his church. In very little time, Heidi warms his heart; and she quickly charms the whole town and makes new friends, including young Peter, the goatherd. But when Heidi is sent away again to care for a young girl her own age, she must grow wise beyond her years, learning invaluable lessons that she will impart to others to better their lives.

In her best-known book, Johanna Spyri portrays how a child's radiant joy and simple faith can transform the world around her.

Rather spoiled by flat narration

This wonderfully inspiring story is rather spoiled by the narrator's flat monotone voice. I chose a woman narrator in the hope she could do the piping voice of Heidi, the calm, patient voice of Clara and the haughty voice of Rottonmeier. There are so many varied characters young and old, yet this lady narrator treats them all with the same, little varying, tone and a certain flatness of delivery. This rather put me off this version of the book.
