Heidi by Johanna Spyri
4.0
I was unable to find the edition I borrowed from the library among those listed on Goodreads. The Heidi I read in 2018 is the Lippincott Classics edition copyright 1948 with an introduction by Angelo Patri and illustrations by Agnes Tait.
Heidi was one of my childhood favorites and I have been wanting to revisit it for some time. I was not disappointed with this reading; I still loved Heidi and her attitude of optimism. I didn't remember the religious tones, but in this reading found those themes appropriate. I enjoyed the introduction about author, Johanna Spyri. She seemed to draw on her own life for aspects of the Heidi story.
