This is one of the books which never seems to grow stale; a Swiss classic, homely and warn hearted, which brings with it the Keen Tang of Alpine air. It tells of an unwanted child, sent to live with her grandfather in his hut on the mountains. Heidi loves her grandfather, a man who can turn to and make almost anything that might be wanted... and the little goatherd who comes each day to take her up the mountain to play with the goats.
