Heidi is a book which is very close to my heart ! I loved it as a child and must have read it 3-4 times already. I don't want to tarnish the happy memories I have , by being critical about the book now. This book is about a girl - Heidi , her friends , her emotions and her adventures. The raw innocence and happiness reflected in this tale, and my fond memories associated with it is the reason I come back to this book again and again.
