Heidi

by Gail Herman (Adapter), Johanna Spyri, Lydia Halverson (Illustrator)

The story of Heidi was written over one hundred years ago, however, it is far from a period piece. In the Swiss Alps, where it is set, a hundred years is just the blink of an eye. We see in her the daughter that every mother dreams of having and every little girl dreams of being. Her presence makes us happy, and so her story has endured. This deluxe Children’s Classic edition is produced with high-quality, leatherlike binding with gold stamping, full-color covers, colored endpapers with a book nameplate. Some of the other titles in this series include: Anne of Green Gables, Black Beauty, King Arthur and His Knights, Little Women, and The Secret Garden.

Childhood Memory

I remember reading this story as a young girl and I fell in love with it then and still love it now.

(E-Lib) I never knew the whole story of Heidi, so I thought I'd give it a try. That said, I'm not sure this is the whole story. Is this "Stepping Stones" version abbreviated?
