About this listen

Filled with the power of love and the beauty of nature, Heidi is a lyrical tale about a little girl sent to live in the mountains of the Swiss Alps with her grandfather. A grumpy recluse, her grandfather has isolated himself from his fellow townspeople and his church. In very little time, Heidi warms his heart; and she quickly charms the whole town and makes new friends, including young Peter, the goatherd. But when Heidi is sent away again to care for a young girl her own age, she must grow wise beyond her years, learning invaluable lessons that she will impart to others to better their lives.

In her best-known book, Johanna Spyri portrays how a child's radiant joy and simple faith can transform the world around her.

This was a visit to a fond childhood memory of the first “chapter book” I read. I had not recalled how “Goddly” this story was but none the less still a sweet and enjoyable read. The characters are innocent and pure without any of today’s evils to disrupt relationships. I recommend this book to those like me who like to reminisce but suggest that younger readers may need to be supported. Perhaps a read together book.

Classic story, beautifully performed. I have seen 2 movie versions, but neither was as good as this telling from the book itself. Clearly was intended as religious instuction for children, and probably breaks the world record for the number of references to "joy" and "delight". But a true feel-good story.

I've always loved Heidi, but it was so well performed and I would recommend it for all ages- especially to those history-loving people. Extremely well performed, beautiful story that makes me feel warm inside the whole way through- I could never stop listening. Absolute beauty to read.
