Heidi (AmazonClassics Edition) Summary

Heidi (AmazonClassics Edition) by Johanna Spyri

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. AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature's most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds. Revised edition: Previously published as Heidi, this edition of Heidi (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

About Johanna Spyri

Johanna Spyri (1827-1901) was born in a small town in Switzerland, but as a child she spent her summers in a village very much like Doerfli, the fictional setting of her book Heidi. After her marriage to a lawyer, she moved to the city of Zurich. Spyri wrote novels for both adults and children, but she is remembered most for Heidi and the book's depiction of rural life in the Swiss Alps during the nineteenth century.
