And they lived happily ever after.

Because life was supposed to be like this. Simple and cozy, surrounded by people we love and care for, into nature! It should be more than just surviving, with the sea, mountains, sky, and woods.

Yes, I loved [b: Heidi|93|Heidi|Johanna Spyri|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388462714l/93._SX50_.jpg|1738595], who had the purest mind in the world!

Dear [a: Johanna Spyri|49|Johanna Spyri|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1201029829p2/49.jpg],
Take a bow! You just won my heart. It's been a long time I've read a book this much fresh and heartwarming.

When Heidi was sent away to Frankfurt, away from her Grandfather and Grandmother, away from he dearest animal friends, to live with Clara, in a closed window house, I felt really sorry for her. She was like a wild bird who was being caged and flying became forbidden for her. I literally could feel her pain. Then again, I could feel her joy when she was placed in her Kingdom where she truly belonged! The ending of this story is just aww!

I could read this book again and again without boring myself.

I had the most beautiful edition of this book growing up and found it again, boxed up in my parent's basement, a few years ago. I loved this book and remember reading it over an over again whenever I had a sick day from school.

Easy read. Perhaps a tad heavy on the Christian references for my liking.

Es una historia enternecedora, cuya protagonista nos cautiva con su forma tan inocente de ver el mundo y de apreciar hasta el más mínimo detalle. Es una niña con un corazón enorme y puro; siempre estaba pensando en los demás y en cómo los podría ayudar.

La mayoría de los personajes me provocaron alegría y ternura, pero sin duda el que más me conmovió fue el abuelo, que a pesar de ser gruñón y querer estar alejado del mundo, mostró un cariño sincero por Heidi desde el primer día que la conoció y al final se llegan a apreciar grandes cambios en su forma de ser.

Me gustó mucho la forma detallada en la que se describe el paisaje de las montañas y sus colores, puedo entender perfectamente por qué a Heidi le encantaba vivir ahí. Sin duda todos deberíamos ver la naturaleza y los animales con la misma admiración y amor que ella lo hace.

Es una lectura cortita y entretenida que vale la pena leer aunque sea una vez en la vida. Además, esta edición me pareció preciosa por sus ilustraciones (aunque me quedo con la Heidi de la fábula).
