This may not be the Heidi that you read in school or even have on your bookshelves at home. This Generations Timeless Classics edition of Heidi by Johanna Spyri utilizes translations pre-1920s and includes the biblical message that was translated and removed from this popular text. Little Heidi is left to the care of her cranky hermit grandfather high up in the mountains. When circumstances take her away from the grandfather she has grown to love, she dreams of returning to her little life high up on the mountain. Through young Heidi’s hard life, she comes to know the Lord and radiates his light! This is a story of how one repentant heart can ripple out and change the hearts of many. 218 pgs., hardcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of Heidi by Johanna Spyri (Generations Timeless Classics)
Heidi is one of the most popular children's books ever published, second only to Pinocchio—with over 50 million copies in print around the world (in at least 50 languages). Heidi is a delightful read. It is one of the most heartwarming Christian stories of all time for children. This is a book filled with joy, gratefulness, and praise to God. It is an ideal story for the Christian family, complete with vivid descriptions of sin, rebellion, God's mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation, and faith. Young readers will learn about prayer, the purpose of trials, the sovereignty of God, and the goodness of God.
Over the years, much of the Christian content was removed from modern English editions of Heidi. The goal of this landmark republication was to restore all of the original Christian content, some of which was restored from the original German edition of 1881.
