Episode notes

Although there are relatively few exclusively Christian references in the novel religion is an important theme of the novel.

This aspect is usually downplayed and adaptations and simplified retellings of the novel sometimes removed from them entirely do so.

Heidi, Heidi, Heidi! Everyone's talking about this adorable ragamuffin, a precocious child who lights up every life she touches like a ray of God's perfect sunshine. This week we learn that living in a hut in the Swiss Alps is better than living in a city, and that if you roast a piece of cheese just right it sounds like the best food you could ever eat.
