Pippi Longstocking lives at Villa Villekulla with a horse, a monkey and a suitcase full of gold, enjoying an independence that astonishes the adults around her. When neighbouring children Tommy and Annika become her friends, their familiar world opens into a succession of remarkable adventures. Pippi’s strength, wild imagination and cheerful disregard for convention make even a shopping trip or a visit to school unpredictable. Beneath her outrageous stories and comic exploits is a generous heart and a fierce willingness to stand up for others. Astrid Lindgren’s much-loved heroine challenges assumptions about how children should behave while celebrating the freedom of imaginative play. Illustrated by Tony Ross, this edition brings Pippi’s distinctive spirit and unforgettable personality to a new generation of readers.
