There are two things I feel important to note to future listeners. Some of the others I listened to had annoying pronunciations that I could never have listened to over a long period of time. ![]() I thoroughly enjoyed Marnie MacAdam's narration. As this book has been recorded by multiple narrators, i was careful to choose the one I thought was best. But I definitely think it is worth reading, especially if you are a youngster. I had a hard time believing in the deep relationship between Heidi and the Grandfather in the book, whereas the movie made it easy to see through him and into his heart. ![]() I did get to see the movie with the irrepressible Shirley Temple multiple times as a child (we didn't have the capability of seeing a movie any time we wanted back then - had to wait until it came on TV, perhaps once every other year). I would probably have appreciated it more than I do now. Perhaps I should have read it as a young person. This is one of the few times where I liked the movie better than the book. ![]()
