When Heidi, an orphan, goes to live with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps, no one can imagine the solitary old man caring for a child. But the two grow to love each other, and Heidi blossoms in her new home. Johanna Spyri’s charming story—and spirited heroine—have won hearts for more than a century.
