Read it in third grade, and although I’ve read many books since then, it remains my favorite. I think every child should have access to it.

Heidi was actually written by Johanna Spyri. I don’t know who this Alan Dwan is, maybe the translator.

Anyway, when I was a child I hated the book, it’s incredible cheesy and dull.
