Oxford Children's Classics: Heidi

This Oxford Children's Classic edition of Heidi features the complete and unabridged text of Johanna Spyri's beloved novel. The story introduces readers to the cheerful, free-spirited orphan girl Heidi, who is sent to live with her reclusive and grumpy grandfather, the Alm-Uncle, high up in the Swiss Alps.

Heidi's infectious joy, her love for the mountain air, and her genuine kindness soon melt her grandfather's stern heart, and she finds true happiness among the goats and alpine meadows. However, her idyllic life is disrupted when she is collected by her aunt to become a companion to a wealthy but invalid girl, Klara Sesemann, in the city of Frankfurt. Though she gains a wonderful new friend in Klara, Heidi longs desperately for her mountain home, her grandfather, and the open sky.
