Heidi (Spyri and Grindley)


Heidi is the classic tale of a girl raised in the Swiss Alps by her grandfather (and then taken to Frankfurt against her will).  She returns to the Alps with a new friend, and a small miracle ensues.

I had never read this, and after our recent trip, wanted to correct that.  This is a translation (the original, auf Deutsch, is now on my reading list) and a simplified/shortened version (I think).  It was okay, but moved much too fast for my liking, and felt . . . unfinished.  Perhaps the real version is better.
