Heidi by Johanna Spyri



Amazon (Translation I) | Project Gutenberg (Translation II)

Orphaned Heidi, sent to live with her reclusive grandfather in the Swiss Alps, quickly grows to love her mountain home—but then is whisked away to the city, where she finds new friends and adventures, but still longs to return to the mountains.

Note: the Project Gutenberg edition (and a second free edition on Amazon labeled 'Gift Edition') is an entirely different translation. The first Kindle edition appears to be the same or very similar to the version I read and loved as a child, and my own personal opinion, after comparing the opening page of both versions, is that it's the better one. Your choice!
