Added to Kindle

This is an utterly delightful read. Having read this book as a child and also the joy of watching a film about Heidi some many years ago it has been utterly delightful to read this kindle version - complete with coloured pictures.Unputdownable for me, thoroughly recommend this heartening tale of childhood innocence, love and understanding and the powers of true friendships.

I just came across this because i'd seen the 'google doodle' about the 100th anniversary of the birth of Laura Ingalls Wilder (i think that was the occasion - it was definitely about her). i went to amazon to see if her books were available on kindle - they're not. but in looking for those, i came across this. It was FREE, so why not read it.I actually enjoyed it. What i liked was the portrait (albeit limited) of life in 19th C Switzerland primarily. The descriptions of the houses, food, and daily life - obviously from the perspectives of the characters - were very interesting. (their attitudes towards bread, milk and cheese as primary dietary sources is amazing - not a vegetable in sight!).Another reviewer mentioned the 'christian' point of view. Yes that's there, but i saw more of 'god' rather than any explicit christian ideology - however obviously that was the perspective. What i think more than anything is that the writing about theological issues just reflects the attitudes of the time - or perhaps the 'ideal' attitudes. I regarded it as every bit an artifact of the context (19thC western Europe) as the descriptions of the other elements in the story.Anyway, for the price, you can't go wrong!
