We were dressing up as Dr. Jekyll and Heidi, inspired by a comment at my book club where someone described something as Jekyll and Hydey. Anyway, we happened to see the Heidi video for sale at Goodwill for $1.99, so we bought that too - and we absolutely loved the movie. The costume were not quite as much of a hit.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-42812621409349906092011-04-09T10:16:14.375-07:002011-04-09T10:16:14.375-07:00I LOVE THIS POST!!!!

Just a couple months ago I found one in a local antique mall, printed in 1944, calling to me and similar to what I had. Lately the Shirley Temple movie has been advertised. I am rereading pages now and then from my newfound, "Heidi" book and loving it. I remember crying when Heidi had to leave the Grandfather. I will have to get that Shirley Temple DVD--wasn't she adorable? Great post. I may copy a couple photos for myself if ok with you?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093078029028920810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-79014203239013260582011-04-09T09:26:50.562-07:002011-04-09T09:26:50.562-07:00I saw the movie when I was young, but I didn't...I saw the movie when I was young, but I didn't remember the story.

LOL! <br /><br />I guess it's because, in a simpler world, adults aren't <i>really</i> mean until they are willing to trade children for money? In the novel, Aute Dete is very impatient and callous, but she really believes that what she is doing is best for everyone concerned. There's some personal gain in leaving Heidi with Clara's family, but she honestly regretted dumping Heidi on her grandfather earlier in the story and is trying to make amends. Very clumsy woman, but not really a baddie. <br /><br />Thanks for the summary of the film, Kathy. =)Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-29173722640072990602011-04-09T06:52:43.838-07:002011-04-09T06:52:43.838-07:00I enjoyed your retelling of the Heidi story, as I&...I enjoyed your retelling of the Heidi story, as I've never read the book or seen the movie!
