Heidi
Also known as Heidis Lehr- und Wanderjahre
Synopsis
An orphan is left with her stern grandfather in a hut above the Swiss pastures, then taken to the city to be a companion to a sick girl. Spyri’s mountains are not scenery. They are the argument: some children get well only when they are given back the air they came from.
