Or at least read the book! I remember reading this book, and seeing the movie, when I was a young girl, and being very much effected by it. In fact, I would say exposure to this story, is probably responsible for my lifelong love of nature, and a desire to live in a natural environment, which has stayed with me, to this day... Never will forget how going back to live with her Grandpa in the Alps, "cured" her of her physical ailments.I have totally believed that is completely possible, ever since! Although I'm not sure if this movie is the same version I saw, so many years ago...
