Astrid Lindgren has written some of the world's most
enduring children's books. They have been translated into
nearly eighty languages, from Arabic to Zulu.
Ingrid Nyman illustrated a number of Astrid Lindgren's books and was the first
to illustrate Pippi.
The beloved story of a spunky young girl and her hilarious escapades. Tommy and his sister Annika have a new neighbor, and her name is Pippi Longstocking. She has crazy red pigtails, no parents to tell her what to do, a horse that lives on her porch, and a pet monkey named Mr. Nilsson. Whether Pippi's scrubbing her floors, doing arithmetic, or stirring things up at a fancy tea party, her flair for the outrageous always seems to lead to another adventure.
