CHAPTER I. UP THE MOUNTAIN TO ALM-UNCLE

From the old and pleasantly situated village of Mayenfeld, a footpath winds through green and shady meadows to the foot of the mountains, which on this side look down from their stern and lofty heights upon the valley below. The land grows gradually wilder as the path ascends, and the climber has not gone far before he begins to inhale the fragrance of the short grass and sturdy mountain-plants, for the way is steep and leads directly up to the summits above.

Subject: Excellent Recording of an Excellent Book
I was very impressed with this recording of Heidi. The story is delightful and very well written. Kara Shallenberg breathes life into this story in a very magical way and is never over dramatic or showy. She reads simply, clearly, and beautifully. You will not be disappointed.

Subject: Excellent children's story
Put aside all your conceptions of Heidi from the various movies you have seen − this is a simple and enchanting story, not overly dramatic, but full of laughter, tears, sorrow and joy. And through it all, Johanna Spyri gently teaches lessons about honesty, being true to your word, continuing on when things don't go your way, and being thankful in all things. KayRay is one of my favorite readers on Librivox and she does an excellent job with this book.
