A charmingly illustrated edition of Johanna Spyri's endearing classic of children's fiction
At the age of six, little orphan Heidi is sent to live with her grandfather in the Alps. Everyone in the village is afraid of him, but Heidi - fascinated by his long beard and bushy grey eyebrows – takes to him immediately and soon earns his love in return. She adores her life in the mountains, playing in the sunshine and growing up among the goats and birds, but one terrible day Heidi is collected by her aunt and forced to live with a new family in town. Heartbroken by the loss of her Alpine life, she must do everything she can to return to her grandfather.

This Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Heidi is translated by Marian Edwardes and features charming line-drawn illustrations and an afterword by Marcus Clapham.
