Lindgren once commented, " I write to amuse the child within me, and can only hope that other children may have some fun that way, too.” Since then generations of children have fallen in love with Pippi Longstocking and will continue to do so as the stories about Pippi are timeless. Swedish author Astrid Lindgren wrote the first Pippi story in 1945. Pippi is feisty and so strong she can lift a horse so clever she’s able to outsmart the robbers who break in to steal her gold coins and she can plan the best birthday party ever! There’s nobody to tell her what to do or to be sensible so life is just one big adventure and next-door neighbours, Annette and Tommy love to play with Pippi and hear her outrageous stories. Nine-year-old Pippi Longstocking lives in Villa Villekulla all by herself with a horse, a monkey called Mr Nilsson and a big suitcase full of gold coins.
