Publisher Description

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Johanna Spyri's endearing Swiss classic.

When Heidi, a lively orphan girl, goes to live with her grandfather in a little hut high in the Alps, she soon learns to live in perfect harmony with her surroundings, leading a carefree life with her constant companion, Peter, a young goatherd.

But her happiness is short-lived when she is sent to stay with a rich city family as a companion for the sick Clara. Although she becomes fond of the older girl, Heidi is terribly homesick. Will she ever be able to return to the Alps and the happiness she once knew with her friends?

Johanna Spyri's touching story of the adventures of a young Swiss girl is one of the most popular children's stories ever written. Heidi's pleasure in the beauty of the Swiss mountains and her rich relationships with her friends and family are perfectly evoked in this warm and lively dramatisation.

    " The book is aimed at 9-12 year olds but a charming read never the less. I remember watching the cartoon version of it on TV as a child. Interesting use of the English language. Not sure if it failed at being an attempt at formal English or just a less than perfect translation German (i assume?). "

    " Heidi adalah seorang gadis kecil yang sangat bersemangat, selalu merasa bersyukur dan hidupnya penuh dengan berkah. Energi positif yang dia miliki, dia salurkan kepada orang-orang disekitarnya yang dia cintai. Heidi merubah hati kakeknya yang sekeras batu, menjadi lembut dan penuh kasih sayang. Merubah hidup nenek, Peter dan Brigitta yang miskin menjadi bahagia dan lebih terang. Memberi semangat kepada Clara yang sakit dan lemah, untuk lebih kuat dan percaya bahwa Clara pasti akan sehat dan bisa berlari seperti dirinya. "

    " A great book full of life and joy. Heidi is like a bird in the story, flitting here and there, spreading joy wherever she flies. I love the way Alm-Uncle opens up on account of his little grandchild. Although no one in the village could reach the old man's heart, Heidi could, and did. "

    " I read this when I was too young. I read very young, and picked this up before I could really understand what was going on, so I retain a strong sense of mountains and goats and not much else. Someday I may try to read it again so I can properly appreciate it. "
