This classic story about Heidi, a five-year-old orphan who is sent to live with her gruff grandfather in the Tyrolean Mountains, has delighted children and adults alike, since first published in 1880. Initially, life in the Swiss Alps proves to be rather difficult for Heidi, but eventually she wins the heart of her grandfather and befriends Peter, a young goatherd. This enchanting story is presented with sympathetic music, in an affectionate performance by Teresa Gallagher.
