Out now on Audible -- a full-cast production of the children's classic Heidi by Johanna Spyri. I love performing in these productions as a member of Voices of Today.
"Presented by Voices of Today.
First published in 1881, the subtitle of the book reads "It was written
as a book "for children and those who love children." Heidi as a 5 year
old orphan has been handed off by her young aunt, Dete, to live with her
grandfather in the Swiss Alps. The story follows her life as she falls
in love with grandfather and he with her and the life of goat-herding
that they share. Grandfather refuses to allow her to attend school in
the small village below and quarrels ensue. Her young aunt returns to
remove her from grandfather to live as a hired lady's companion to
wealthy Clara, a wheelchair bound child, in Frankfurt. She is loved by
Clara, but not by the other's within Clara's home where she is
considered ill-mannered. Heidi becomes severely homesick and the wealthy
family's doctor recommends her return to the mountains. Clara misses
Heidi and comes to visit."
