Description

Meet Pippi Longstocking, the unforgettable nine-year-old heroine who has captured the hearts of generations. Living alone in Villa Villekulla with her pet horse, mischievous monkey, and a suitcase full of gold coins, Pippi is cheeky, courageous, and completely unpredictable. While the grown-ups in the village try to make her behave like an ordinary little girl, Pippi has other ideas—she’d rather spend her days creating wild adventures with her neighbours Tommy and Annika, or entertaining everyone she meets with her outrageous stories. From wrestling a circus strongman to dancing a polka with burglars and tugging a bull's tail, Pippi's fearless spirit and sense of fun make every page sparkle with imagination. First published in 1945, Astrid Lindgren's classic children's book has inspired millions of readers worldwide. This beautifully illustrated edition features artwork by Lauren Child, the award-winning creator of Clarice Bean and Lola. Just as she was inspired by Pippi as a child, Lauren brings her own inimitable style to this timeless story, making it the perfect gift for today's young readers. With its mix of humour, mischief, and adventure, Pippi Longstocking is ideal for children aged 6-9 who love classic chapter books, strong girl characters, and stories filled with imagination and fun.

Media Reviews

Lauren Child's . . . version of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking is sublime. * Amanda Craig, The Times *
[Lauren Child's] an inspired choice to hook a new generation of children on Sweden's greatest literary export. * Susanna Forest, Telegraph Review *
Some word and picture partnerships are akin to a marriage made in heaven. First there was EH Shepard and AA Milne, then Quentin Blake and Roald Dahl - now Lauren Child and Astrid Lindgren. If ever there was an illustrator born to understand the psyche and well-loved quirkiness of Pippi Longstocking and infuse it with a 21st-century edge, then Child is that artist. * Junior *
There's no stopping Lauren Child as she brings her own inimitable style to illustrate Pippi Longstocking . . . Everyone will love this. * The Bookseller *
Lauren Child . . . is the perfect choice to illustrate this handsome edition of Pippi . . . her unmistakable illustrative style helps to bring a modern feel to the book and will enable another generation of readers to enjoy the exploits of this extraordinary little girl. * Books for Keeps *
Pippi is my favourite girl hero * Cressida Cowell, Express *
I love how unconsciously rebellious she is. She doesn't care about rules, she cares about people. * Alicia Vikander *
