Pippi Longstocking Gift Edition - Astrid Lindgren

We are HUGE Pippi Longstocking fans, and so it's fitting that we have added Sweden's most popular children's book character to our collection. Pippi Longstocking is 9 years old and lives in Villa Villekulla with a horse, a monkey (Mr Nillson) and a big suitcase of gold coins. She is the STRONGEST person in the world (another reason why we love her) and thinks nothing of wrestling a circus strongman or a burglar. This beautiful gift edition includes some of Pippa's classic adventures, all beautifully illustrated by award winning artist, Lauren Child. This is a really beautiful gift for the 7 - 12 real old child. We just love Pippi's sense of fun and adventure!
