Heidi

This is an e-book addition only.

 Orphaned at a very young age, the lively and intelligent Heidi is brought to her grandfather’s house in the Swiss Alps by her aunt. As the five-year-old girl quickly wins the heart of her grumpy grandfather and befriends the people around, they all become fond of her. But when she turns eight, Heidi is taken by her aunt to serve as a companion to Clara Sesemann, a wealthy, disabled girl. Heidi enlivens and charms her, but soon herself becomes homesick. 

The text is from Helene S. White's 1902 translation. Illustrations by Jessie Willcox Smith, from the edition published in 1922, and by Lacey Fairchild, commissioned for this edition. 

 This is the eighth book in the Castalia Library series.
