Meet Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Longstocking
In association with Oxford University Press and The Astrid Lindgren Company.Nine-year-old Pippi is strong, brave and fearless.

Pippi takes charge of her own crazy adventures, with her two new friends, Tommy and Annika. What else would you expect from the daughter of a swashbuckling pirate captain?
