The story of Heidi was written over one hundred years ago, however, it is far from a period piece.

In the Swiss Alps, where it is set, a hundred years is just the blink of an eye.

We see in her the daughter that every mother dreams of having and every little girl dreams of being.

Her presence makes us happy, and so her story has endured.
