This children’s classic is presented here in a gorgeous full-colour gift edition illustrated by Lauren Child (of Clarice Bean fame). Pippi Longstocking is nine years old. She has just moved into Villa Villekulla where she lives all by herself with a horse, a monkey and a big suitcase full of gold coins. And though the grown-ups in the village try to make Pippi behave in ways that they think a little girl should, she has other ideas. She’d much rather wrestle a circus strongman, dance a polka with burglars or tug on a bull’s tail. Enormous fun for girls and boys aged 8+.
