This book has been an emotional upheaval. I used to love Heidi cartoon as a kid and while I was reading this book, I fondly remembered my own childhood. THIS was the best thing about this book.
The book is about an orphan - Heidi (of course by now you know it :p) who is taken care of by her aunt but she soon leaves her to his grandfather - who is a grumpy old man having no friends in the neighbourhood or county, to earn more money at Frankfurt. As soon as Heidi comes to stay with her grandfather, where the surroundings are completely new to her, she is in awe of the place. She becomes a chirpy and loving girl, who becomes friends with a guy called Peter with whom she goes daily takes the goats to graze on the vast fields of Switzerland. Her happiness is short lived when she is taken to Frankfurt buy her aunt with force with the false promise of coming back to Switzerland whenever she wants. She is sent to Frankfurt to be in company of Clara who is not able to walk. But soon, Heidi falls into a pit of her own thoughts becoming depressed, losing weight, starting to sleep walk only due to sadness of not being able to return to her beloved grandfather and the green pastures.
Why I liked the book?
For its simplicity, the innocence of the characters, the good thoughts that it would put in a reader's mind and of course the feel good factor. For me personally, I kept having a single thought in my head - if only this world was such a beautiful place to be in.
What could have been better?
It is unfair for me to even write anything under this question due to the simple reason that A CLASSIC CANNOT BE CRITICISED. It is classic for a reason. But I would still write it. I think at some points the book might get boring. Like in a chapter it was so widely explained that how Heidi was roaming around while the goats were grazing, which flower did she like, what is the amount of cheese she had. At places such as these I wanted to skip the pages.
Fun Fact?
Heidi's real name was Adelheid.
