Heidi was first published in 1880. A classic tale of childhood joys and friendships, it has delighted and inspired generations of children.

i think this is the first long novel i've ever read when i was a child. honestly, i've forgotten most of its content, but the feeling of reading it the first time still remains after years. was it peter the one who couldn't read and didn't go to school? did i just feel so engaged with hedi's friendship with him? perhaps so. i also remember a little the goat cheese and the pine trees. i was just a child living in a secluded village, and heidi brought a feeling of wonder to it. heidi enabled me to understand that children have thoughts, too. it made me able to navigate my world through a whole new window. when i saw pine trees for the first time passing through a road called cadas pangeran, it became more special as heidi made them so. years later when i moved to the city, i found my heidi again with its folded and rusty cover. the sleepwalking and the longing to go home felt more real than ever. ah... i couldn't help but write a review that is perhaps too much about me, but this book is just very dear to me! i lost my heidi, the one with cartoonized cover. a girl with a straw hat on her head and freckles on her cheeks, sitting on lush grasses with the alps behind. i think i once wished my name was heidi, hahaha.

Heidi by Johanna Spyri. 🌱📖️🌨️

This is my first read in December. 🎄No wonder that most of you have read Heidi as kids, feeling the cold breezes of the Swiss mountains.🌨️ So this was my second reading of Heidi. One as a little girl. And this time as a 19 year old young lady. 😂😌

First of all it is the lively backdrop of the story which always steals my heart into it. 🏔🌲🐐The narrator never misses  a chance to make her readers live in the plot as if they are close people to our little center focus ; Heidi. 

Why I envy Heidi. 😐

🐥Her mind is free and fiest and unaware of the evil around her.
🐥She's got a cool grandpa. 😎 (Mine is cool too) 
🐥Her home is my idol place of living.
🐥How she becomes happy with the tiniest thing she has. 

Peter the goat boy. 👦

I want to talk about Peter cuz in most of my favorite books , there's a character named Peter to whom my attention  is spontaneously magnetized to.😂 Have you got any specific name which immediately catches your eye of a reader ? 😂🥲

This time I felt the deeper themes scrutinized by the writer which I did not find as a child. The little girl's empathetic, humanely attitudes towards the world which substantially attacks the immatured behaviors of adults throughout the plot is my most prefered theme of the novel.❤️🤭🌨️

meh. this book was recommended because of my deep love of anne of green gables but it fell flat. quite enjoyable in a small dose but when i hit the midpoint of the book i had to drag myself through it

Such a nicely told story. I listened to this and I was just genuinely enjoying it all the way through.

A childhood favourite...I loved reading it again.

A Swiss orphan is heartbroken when she must leave her beloved grandfather and their happy home in the mountains to go to school and to care for an invalid girl in the city.

This was just wonderful! The vivid descriptions, the joyous Heidi: I could have stayed in this book forever!

I do still enjoy this story but perhaps some of the shine has worn away since I was a kid. Will always like reading it but perhaps i wont get back the love I had for it when I was younger.

Orphaned Heidi lives with her gruff but caring grandfather on the side of Swiss mountain, where she befriends young Peter the goat-herd. She leads an idyllic life, until she is forced to leave the mountain she has always known to go and live with a sickly girl in the city. Will Heidi ever see her grandfather again? A classic tale of a young girl's coming-of-age, of friendship, and familial love.
