Items related to Heidi (Classic Reward S.)
Heidi is an old-fashioned book in which the good characters live "happily ever after." In today's uncertain world, where both the news and fiction tend to be painfully realistic, it is reassuring to find a story where good people are rewarded and where love and honesty triumph. Modern readers may find certain aspects of the book a bit overdone. Heidi is almost too full of joy, Peter too simple-minded, and the grandfather too all-knowing and kind beneath his gruff exterior to be totally believable. Yet readers care about these characters deeply and become much involved in their story. The book was originally written in German and first published in English in 1884. It is a simple narrative of love between a girl and her grandfather, of the joy of helping others, of the beauty of nature, and of reverence for God.

Book Description Pictorial Hardcover. Condition: Good. 214 pages. 230 grams. Book is in good lightly marked condition with clear contact protecting cover. 'For many, many years now, children have read Heidi and have loved this simple, sweet story of a little girl who lived high up on the Swiss Alps. She is a lively, carefree little creature, and in her innocent approach to life's problems there is a child-like wisdom which brings true happiness, not only to hersell, but also to many unhappy grown-up people around her. Children still enjoy reading about the Alm-Uncle, Peter the goat-herd, the old, blind grandmother, Clara and the people from Frankfurt, just as generations of chldren before them have done. It all seems so real and true! - because Johanna Spyri was writing about a life she knew and loved. She was born at Hirzel, near Zurich, in a wonderfully beautiful district - Lake Zurich and dark fir forests on on side, on the other, the shimmering Bernese Oberland. Just as Heidi did little Johanna loved the beautiful scenery amidst which she grew up, and she, too, would often stop to lisen to the roaring of the wind in the fir trees. She wrote Heidi in 1880, at a time when Switzerland, always the country of refuge, was succouring the wounded and homeless from the Franco-Prussian War. Money was needed urgently, so Johanna Spyri published Heidi. It was an immediate success, and is still one of the world's most popular children's stories.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
