This review is from: Pippi Longstocking, Pippi Goes On Board, Pippi in the South Seas (Paperback)
Pippi Longstocking is one of the more famous characters of the children's author Astrid Lindgren. She is an independent, tomboy-type-gal who lost her mother at a very young age and was separated from her father - a captain who became lost at sea. Fortunately, thanks to her time with him, she has travelled far and wide and acquired an incredible strength. She moves into a typical Swedish village and together with her new friends Tommy and Annika, gives that world a touch of childlike magic.
She is very fond of telling absurd stories of her travels, spontaneous activities, feats of strength, especially righting wrongs and the rest. This is all tempered with a healthy disdain for authority and a lack of "etiquette" - when she decides to start school, she tells her teacher she wants to be a pirate AND a lady when she grows up. Eventually, she visits her father on an island where he has turned out to have become the king, and treats Tommy, Annika and the whole class to a great host of adventures. Not as amusing as some other Lindgren characters, Pippi is still a good role-model in terms of being the rough girl with the heart of gold. The stories are still very playful and fun. A good read for children from a young age (like most Lindgren books).

I was so happy to find these. I loved them when I was a child and think that my eight year old grandaughter will love them just as much!!!
