When orphan Heidi is taken to live with her grumpy grandpa in the Swiss Alps, it looks as though life is going to become very difficult indeed. But Heidi's sweet nature quickly softens Grandpa's heart and she loves living in the mountains, roaming free with the goats and her new friend Peter. When she is taken away to be the companion of an unwell girl in the city, Heidi is heartbroken. Will she ever return to her true home in the mountains?

This beautiful retelling by Jeanne Willis, gloriously illustrated by Briony May Smith, will capture the imagination of anyone who has ever longed to run free.
