The beloved story of an orphan living in the Swiss Alps is now available in an unabridged hardcover edition that’s a perfect gift for today’s young readers. When Heidi’s parents die and she can no longer live with her aunt, she must stay with her ill-tempered grandfather, who lives alone in the Swiss Alps. Heidi thrives in the mountains as she plays with the mountain goats, picks wildflowers, and makes new friends. Then Heidi is taken away to serve as a companion to a lonely girl. Will she ever get back to the mountains she loves so much? This heartwarming tale is now available in a collectible hardcover edition, complete with black-and-white interior illustrations that bring the story to life.
Johanna Spyri was born Johanna Louise Heusser on June 12, 1827, in Hirzel, Switzerland. In 1852, she moved to Zurich, where she began to write stories about life in the country. Although she wrote more than fifty stories before passing away in 1901, Johanna Spyri is best known for Heidi, the story of an orphan who goes to live with her grandfather on the mountain.
