Heidi is a charming classic tale of, yes, Heidi, a young orphan girl with no stable place to belong to. This all changes when her Aunt Detie delivers her to her gruff grandfather (who everyone calls Uncle Alp) to live with him on a mountainside in the Swiss Alps. He had a frightening reputation, but Heidi knew better. She discovers a beautiful natural world on the mountainside, making friends and discoveries and wondering, dreaming, and adoring everything. This footloose and fancy-free life is altered when Aunt Detie comes to get her and take her to live with a family in Frankfurt, as a playmate for a twelve-year-old invalid named Clara. It is here that Heidi realizes how rare-and special- God's blessing of home is.
This book was enchanting and especially cute; I recommend this to anyone. Five stars!
