7/8/2023 0 Comments Heidi by johanna spyri 1925![]() ![]() It’s hard to account for the extraordinary popularity of Heidi. One of the most faithful adaptations is the 2015 German language film, with an accurately dark-haired Heidi - like she was described in the book. One of the most famous adaptations is the 1937 Shirley Temple film, which plays up on sentimentality, charming though it is. Heidi has also been adapted numerous times to the stage, including an opera, plus several movies and television series. It’s not only the bestselling Swiss book ever published, but one of the bestselling books in the world. None of her subsequent books - and there were many - achieved the level of success as did Heidi. Originally written in German, Heidi was Spyri’s first published novel. ![]() Johanna Spyri(1827 – 1901), the author of Heidi, has been called the “Swiss Louisa May Alcott.” Tens of millions of copies of this classic children’s novel (first published in 1881) have sold worldwide in translations of more than forty languages. ![]()
