These days, a writer is warned to be subtle in the messages they wish to share with their audience. What I didn’t know was that the book is heavily religious orientated. Her loving nature and giving heart result in people depending on her more than they should.The story is well known by most people, as it was to me. Everyone who meets her falls under her spell as she is a girl of innocence and loves helping people. I found it easy to accept and even to ignore.Heidi is about a young girl who lives in the Swiss mountains. Yet, knowing the era the story is set in suits the formal writing. Heidi by Johanna Spyri was written around 1880 and for this reason the wording is very old fashion and stiff to read.
Now with charming full-color photographs of the scenery around which Heidi would have grown up, this is a fantastic gift for children at any time of year. Simple writing, a lovely, relatable plot, and a recognition of the importance of family and nature make Heidi a great book for families to read aloud. The book has been translated into more than fifty languages and has sold over fifty million copies. Since its original publication in Switzerland in 1880, Johanna Spyri's classic story has delighted generations of children. But even though Heidi bonds with Clara and brings new life to the household, she becomes more and more homesick and wants desperately to return to her grandfather. Three years later, Heidi's aunt returns to take her to the town to become a companion for Clara, a sick little girl of a wealthy family.
Soon, however, she comes to appreciate her new, simple life she loves walking through the pastures with her friend Peter the goatherd and spending quiet time with her grandfather. When an aunt drops five-year-old Heidi off to live with her grandfather in the Alps-the two of them alone in a small hut on a hill-she's initially very lonely.
