Heidi

I read this Book in the past and really liked it. The cover is very nice, and story too. I think that its a book for Children ,but also for Adults. I read this when I was a Child. Now I m adult, but still like this Book

I can still picture this book on my childhood bookshelf, but I do not remember this story at all. Perhaps I never read it or had it read to me.

The setting is well described - I can imagine myself jumping around the mountainside with Heidi and the goats. The backstory and beginning set you up for a drama, but the book reads like an advertisement for isolated mountain life or a morality play. The book covers a few years of Heidi's childhood. Heidi, in her innocence and with her empathy, brings joy to everyone. Along the way, she learns to trust in the dear lord.

First half was good. I cared about little Heidi discovering new worlds around her, though not in control of her own life. But the second half was basically “if you're sick just go to nature” and a bunch of propaganda about praying and God. Really, the Bible was a less Christian book than this one.
