Pippi Longstocking

Everyone's favourite feisty, quirky, naughty little girl! A truly timeless classic written by Astrid Lindgren.

  • In 2020 Pippi Longstocking turns 75! Or, to be completely accurate, the first book about Pippi turns 75 – Pippi herself will always be the free-spirited nine-year-old we know so well.
  • Pippi Longstocking has been in print continuously since first publication, making Pippi one of the most popular children's characters ever.
  • Perfect boys and for girls, for reading aloud or for reading alone.
  • Astrid Lindgren's books have sold over 100 million copies worldwide in some 80 languages.

Reviews

  • ‘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.’

    Guardian

  • ‘Pippi is impulsive, irrepressible, red-haired and so strong you won’t believe it. Her bizarre adventures delight children and confound health and safety.’

    Telegraph

  • ‘[Pippi Longstocking] should certainly be on every child’s bookshelf. Truly difficult children will, I suspect, clamour for Pippi.’
