Pipi Longstocking

Astrid Lindgren

‘At the end of a little Swedish town lay an old,    overgrown orchard.’ In the orchard was a cottage and in this cottage lived Pippi Longstocking.’

Pippi is 9 years old, lives by herself and so strong she can lift her horse with one hand.

She also has a pet monkey and loves having fun – often at adults’ expense.

There are eleven books about Pippi and the first was written as long ago as 1945.

Her books are so popular they have been translated into a whopping 85 languages.
