![]() ![]() It's gloriously anarchic, with Pippi being strong enough to lift a horse (well, he does get in the way sometimes) and doesn't go to school because she managed for nine years without knowing her pluttification tables and sees no reason to change the situation now. Pippi Longstocking is one of the few books which I'd say that every child should read. Well, a few do try, but Pippi always gives them short shrift and gets on with living her life the way that she wants to live it. ![]() ![]() Pippi believes that he's away being the King of the Cannibals (and that she's therefore a Princess of the Cannibals) and in the meantime she lives on her own - well except for a horse, a monkey and a suitcase full of gold - and with NO grown-ups to tell her what to do. Her mother is dead and her father was blown off his ship. Pippi Longstocking lives the life of every girl's dream. You don't need to know more than that you should buy it. Summary: One of the few books which I'm adamant every child should read. ![]()
