Synopsis

Johanna Spyri’s classic follows a cheerful five-year-old orphan sent to live with her hermit-like grandfather in a small hut high on a mountain pasture. Surrounded by the natural world, Heidi’s energy and sensitivity shape the lives of those around her, including Clara, Peter and Peter’s blind grandmother, while even the old Alm-Uncle is gradually changed by her presence.

Translated into many languages and adapted for film and television, the story has long been described as being “for children and those who love children”. This abridged version is designed to retain the enchantment of the original.
