When I was a child I loved the book 'Heidi'. I enjoyed the fact that I was transported to a different world through Heidi. It was a treat to read about a girl who lived in both Germany and Switzerland. I loved reading about her adventures in the mountains, and longed to escape my city life to wander in through meadows of edelweiss.
