Our view
“Pippi Longstocking” is a joyful children’s book whose heroine does exactly as she pleases, and that rebellious streak is its whole charm. Readers love Pippi herself and the mischief she brings. Some adults find the book more endearing in memory than on rereading, yet read aloud it can still set a child giggling.
