"Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of children have asked: Whatever became of little Heidi when she grew up? Did she go to school in Dorfli, or did she stay with Grandfather in his little cottage high up on the Alm of the Swiss Alps? And did Clara, whom Heidi had encouraged to walk again when everyone else had lost hope, come back as she had promised? And what of Peter, The goatherd, and dear, blind old Granny, and the good doctor who had offered Heidi his home, and Brigida?  And what became of Little Swan and Little Bear, the goats who loved Heidi quite as much as everyone else in Dorfli.
Do you remember that the last chapter of Heidi was called "Promises to Meet Again"?  Well, Johanna Spyri's translator has written the book in which we meet again the people we knew and loved so well and in this new book about Heidi, written with the same charm and delightfulness as the old, you will find many adventures and surprises and a happy ending in which her fondest dreams are realised."
