'Generations of children have grown up loving these wonderful stories about the invincible girl with the unforgettable name.' (Manchester Evening News)

'Pippi is a feisty character with a touch of the superhero about her and is as appealing to me now as she was when I was a kid.' (Amazon reviewer)

'Funny, charismatic Pippi is the person every small child wants to be . . . Magical Stuff.' (Frances Perkins, Dorset Society)

'For me, Pippi Longstocking has to be one of the most endearing children's book characters' (Jayne Howarth, Daily Post)

'Still fresh and appealing, Pippi is a loveable, free-thinking and determined character who has appealed to several generations.' (Parents In Touch)
