1 About this book
The famous Swiss classic about Heidi, a five-year-old orphan girl who goes to live with her grandfather, and his goats, in an alm (Alpine pasture)...up the Alps. One of the most loved classics ...both by children and adults, alike.
Little orphan Heidi goes to live high in the Alps with her gruff grandfather and brings happiness to all who know her on the mountain. When Heidi goes to Frankfurt to work in a wealthy household, she dreams of returning to the mountains and meadows, her friend Peter, and her beloved grandfather.
Good for readers who want: a classic and a book they can read free online.
