Heidi by johanna spyri first edition5/18/2023 Heidi lighted up every room she entered from the grandmother's dark corner to the grand rooms of Frankfurt mansions. Clara told her father that life was never dull with Heidi about. Heidi is a very simple girl with simple dreams and faith, for this is a book of dreams and faith. Each had a heavy burden, the grandfather, bitter at the world, rich Herr Sesemann with a beloved but perhaps dying daughter, the doctor suffering from the lost of his own daughter, the lonely, poverty stricken grandmother and wheelchair bound Clara Sesemann. It is a story of their healing and reconciliation. This is the story of three men, an old woman and a young woman each broken and alienated in their own way as told through the optimistic and cheerful orphan Heidi. On the other hand, the narrator Johanna Ward pours forth mountain tops, fir trees, goat herds, flowers, slices of goat cheese, howling winds, bright stars, heartbreak, love and the magnificent wonder of life. It has always served up syrupy and unsatisfying movie versions. Hollywood through its inventions and alterations has never done justice to Johanna Spyri's Heidi.
