Known to all as “Alm-uncle” Heidi's grandfather is good-hearted but mistrustful of the villagers.
The lonely, embittered old man lives like a hermit on the mountain-top and has nothing to do with the people in the village below.
She leaves Heidi with Heidi's grandfather, who lives in the Swiss mountains. Aunt Dete is a career-woman who though she loves Heidi, does not have the time or resources to look after a child in busy Frankfurt. It tells of Heidi, a little Swiss girl whose parents' sudden death leaves her to be brought up by her aunt. Heidi The Girl from the Alps by Swiss children's author Johanna Spyri was published in two parts in 1880. Heidiland, a theme park, is one of the big attractions in Zurich. Since it first came out, it has captured the hearts of children (and adults) all over the world, been extensively filmed, televised and staged and translated from the original German into more than 60 languages. Filled with descriptions of the magnificent Swiss Alps, the lives of the simple country folk who live in their picturesque peaks and valleys and the gentle and innocent days of childhood, Heidi by Johanna Spyri is a book that no child should miss reading.
