Translated by Mabel Abbott

Heidi, written by Johanna Spyri in 1880, is a children's novel that follows the life of a young orphan girl named Heidi who is taken from her beloved Swiss mountains to live in Frankfurt. The story explores themes of nature, freedom, and the impact of love and kindness as Heidi navigates her new life and ultimately returns to her grandfather in the Alps. Notable for its vivid depiction of Swiss landscapes and its influence on children's literature, Heidi remains a cherished classic that highlights the importance of home and belonging.
