The book I read was a story of a girl named HEIDI who was very fond of nature.She loves the mountains ,fir trees,flowers,birds and goats.HEIDI is a little girl who lives on the SWISS ALPS.She is an orphan and she is bought up by her aunt DETE till she was five.Then her aunt decides to leave her with her grandfather who is an odd personality living in the mountains.When she comes to live with him grandfather undergoes a change.Soon,she became fond of her grandfather and peter who was a goat-herd.However her aunt takes her away to FRANKFURT to get her employed.There HEIDI becomes a playmate of rich but cripple child CLARA.Although the two girls get along very well,HEIDI was always fond of mountains,flowers and her grandfather.After a while she was sent back to the mountains but she retains her friendship with CLARA.After a year or two CLARA comes to see HEIDI in the mountains Where she became healthy and can walk without wheelchair.

HEIDI is a tale of love,happiness,friendship and care.The first ten chapters are about sorrow and lonesomeness.The next twelve are about friendship,care and happiness.

However I enjoyed a lot reading this book as well as felt sorry for the poor little HEIDI who was an innocent child.I also cried a little thinking about HEIDI.Hope you will experience the same.
