A book “for children and those who love children”, Heidi (1881) is a story of an orphan girl who is sent to live with her grumpy grandfather in the Swiss Alps. The embittered grandfather who lives in seclusion, is known as ‘Uncle Alp’, and deeply resents Heidi’s arrival. But soon, he grows fond of her. Lost in the idyllic world of snow-covered mountains, Heidi befriends Peter, the goatherd, his mother, Bridget, and his blind maternal grandmother. While all seems well in Heidi’s wonderland, she is soon compelled to leave the comforts of the hills and go to Frankfurt to live with a differently-abled girl named Clara. Overcoming the initial difficulties, Heidi and Clara become friends. Amidst the grey streets of a new city, Heidi struggles to overcome her homesickness. If only she could return to the mountains. Will she ever meet her grandfather again? Written well over a century ago, Johanna Spyri’s evergreen tale of a young girl’s coming of age, of her bravery and compassion, remains a classic.\u003c\/span\u003eHeidi, an orphan, goes to live with her cranky grandfather high in the Alps. She is happy and healthy, until she is sent to live with a rich family as a companion for a sick girl, Clara. Although she grows fond of the girl, she is incredibly homesick. She eventually returns to the Alps and finds happiness in the natural mountain setting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best of used books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45518696448257,"sku":"31EX4M329-Used","price":99.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/4299\/0495\/files\/lmm.jpg?v=1723882439","url":"https:\/\/bestofusedbooks.com\/products\/heidi-13","provider":"Best Of Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
