About this listen

 High in the Swiss Alps, Heidi, a five-year-old orphan, comes to live with her grandfather. His neighbors say he is a fierce old hermit, of whom they are all afraid. Heidi, however, proves to be a remarkable, unaffected child, who quickly charms her grandfather. In fact, for Heidi, nothing could be better than living with him. She enjoys a genuine enthusiasm for life: for the goats, which she helps Peter to tend; for the spring flowers on the Alm; for the thick slices of bread and cheese that her grandfather prepares for her; and for the simple hay bed that she occupies in the loft of his hut.

However, her Aunt Dete doesn't understand, and it is a sad day when she takes Heidi to live in a strange city with a strange family who wants a companion for their young invalid daughter named Klara. Heidi does her best to be a friend to Klara, but her longing for home becomes too much to bear.

This was a delightful and enjoyable story to read when I was young, and again, when I read it to my own children, and now a grandmother, I have enjoyed it once again. Listening to its beautiful narration by Johanna Ward. This book still had the magic to awaken my imagination and my senses as I once again felt like I was up on the Alm with Heidi. I was captivated by the imagery of the beauty of the mountains, the wild flowers, the clean, crisp air, and the goats. This story conveys how love can melt the hardest of hearts and bind together friendships and companions of all ages. It's a timeless treasure. Well worth the read and the reread even as we age.
