This charming book became one of the most popular pieces of Swiss literature. Heidi helps to brighten up the life of Klara, her new friend in the city, but soon grows homesick for the mountains and her family.

I use the British Library often for research, but I LOVE adopting books as gifts for people. My most recent adoption was in honor of my English professor in college. I am not just a literary scholar because of her influence--I am also a better human being.

My daughter and I both love the ambiance of the British Library and feel proud to be Readers. Supporting the Adopt a Book scheme is the least I can do.
