Nobody loves Mary - the heroine of the famous story of Francis Burnett "The Secret Garden." However, she does not burn with love for others, and moreover - she can not stand the whole world. And then her parents are passing away prematurely. There is an impression that nothing good can happen to her in this life. But there is a miracle: the fate itself extends the heroine of the book to the saving hand and leads to the path leading to the beautiful Secret Garden.

A long, boring slog of a book
Maybe it’s the dry and technical translation and the book is better in German, I don’t know, but I constantly found myself checking the time and groaning while there were still 6, 4, or a few hours left to go. The reader does different voices for the characters, which helps break up the monotony, but the in between narration seems very cold and emotionless. I normally listen to books a bit faster than 1x speed, but this one I found myself cranking up the speed multiple times just to get through it, until at the end I was listening at nearly twice my normal speed.
There are two or three moments that are touching in the back half, but the long periods in between describing how much she loves flowers or the colors of every little thing around her make them difficult to reach.

What a Wonderful little classic
Heidi is an orphaned child of a tender age who is forced upon what society views as a grumpy, dangerous grandfather. With Heidi’s tender heart and free spirit she soon has everyone on the Swiss mountain, including her grandfather, falling in love with her and changing their lives. Suddenly, she is yanked from this home and the people she loves and sent away to a stranger’s home in Frankfurt. This change and journey will continue to change so many lives for the good and the bad but God has his own plans and journey for everyone involved. A wonderful, heart felt book.

Timeless Classic!
When I was a little girl, this was my favorite book. My daddy read it to me so often that I knew the first page-and-a-half by heart. Sixty years later, I still love it. Fine narration of a beautiful story of love, faith and friendship. A clean, hopeful, moral read for children in a time when most literature aimed at them is dystopian at best.

Rather spoiled by flat narration
This wonderfully inspiring story is rather spoiled by the narrator's flat monotone voice. I chose a woman narrator in the hope she could do the piping voice of Heidi, the calm, patient voice of Clara and the haughty voice of Rottonmeier. There are so many varied characters young and old, yet this lady narrator treats them all with the same, little varying, tone and a certain flatness of delivery. This rather put me off this version of the book.

Memory of childhood revisited
This was a visit to a fond childhood memory of the first “chapter book” I read. I had not recalled how “Goddly” this story was but none the less still a sweet and enjoyable read. The characters are innocent and pure without any of today’s evils to disrupt relationships. I recommend this book to those like me who like to reminisce but suggest that younger readers may need to be supported. Perhaps a read together book.

Classic story, beautifully performed. I have seen 2 movie versions, but neither was as good as this telling from the book itself. Clearly was intended as religious instuction for children, and probably breaks the world record for the number of references to "joy" and "delight". But a true feel-good story.
