A very sweet story, even better than the Heidi Song VHS I wore out watching over and over again when I was a child. A bit preachy at times, but that seems to be a theme for any turn of the century female authors, and since it always seems to focus on just being thankful for what one has, I definitely don't mind as I kind of wish there was more of that in the world myself.
I have been suggested by my mum to read Heidi for it is one of her most favorite classics back when she was in high school. I have been into classics for a while now and Heidi was a pretty interesting classic children book to be read. I don't really read children books sometimes but this book was incredibly written. I love everything about it though I am a bit confused by Aunt Dete and Fraulein Rottenmeier's character.
“Heidi speaks to us with the voice of love and we shouldn't tire of listening to her. Heidi seems to be loved as a child of nature, a symbol for romanticism and lost innocence. Johanna Spyri wants to empower people to accept new challenges while keeping a good heart like Heidi, who is able to read stories to Peter's blind grandmother and even moves her unsociable grandfather to return into the village community.
Story of Heidi tries to give orientation in a world shaken by rapid social change, a world in disorder that makes people feel insecure and this is exactly what makes the story attractive today in view of neoliberalism and globalization.”

why are there two beloved children's classics where a rich disabled child is cured of not-being-able-to-walk-itis through the magic of friendship and going outside
