About This Book
Orphaned at an early age and taken in by her young aunt Dete, Heidi--short for
Adelheid--is soon in the way. Dete has a new and better job where Heidi is not
welcome, so the child must live with her curmudgeon of a grandfather high on the
Alm Mountain in the Swiss Alps.
Everyone calls him the Alm-Uncle because he never comes down to the village,
even in the coldest winter, and he's developed a reputation as an evil, godless
old hermit. But Heidi soon finds that things are not always what others say they
are, makes friends with the Alm-Uncle, and happily runs wild in the glorious
mountains with the goat boy, Peter, and his goats.
Suddenly Dete appears again, and Heidi finds herself confined in a stone house
in a stone city where she is expected to be companion to the invalid Klara. Dete
sees this as a great opportunity for Heidi, one that will provide her with an
education and polish. But, bitterly unhappy away from her grandfather and the
outdoor life she has grown to love, Heidi at last makes her way back to the Alm.
How Klara finally comes to the mountains as well, and the surprising events that
follow, form the heartwarming ending to a story that has been loved for
generations by children all over the world.
