Heidi, published in 1881, is Johanna Spyri’s beloved children’s classic about a cheerful orphan girl who brings joy and healing to those around her in the Swiss Alps. Sent to live with her reclusive grandfather, Heidi gradually transforms the lives of people in both the mountains and the city. With its pastoral setting, emphasis on kindness, and deep affection for nature, Heidi is a timeless tale of innocence, resilience, and the healing power of love and friendship.
