Synopsis

Here comes this charming pictorial indroduction to Pippi -- the strongest girl in the world. Pippi lives all alone in Villa Villekulla with her horse and a monkey called Mr. Nilsson. To the amazement of her neighbours, Tommy and Annika, she sleeps with her feet on the pillow and her head under the covers, bakes cookies on the floor, performs her own act at the circus, takes on two burglars single handedly, and has the most unusual birthday party. Everyone know Pippi Longstocking. For generations, even the youngest children have immediately identied with her independent spirit.

Review:

'Pippi is in the great tradition of children's protagonists who subvert the adult world, whether by questioning it, like Alice, or simply throwing it into chaos, like Dr Seuss's Cat in the Hat.' (Sean French, The Guardian)

'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)

'This is a book to love.' (Armadillo Magazine)
