Pippi Longstocking
Astrid Lindgren, Lauren Child
Review
by Dani Solomon
When I was choosing a book to read as a kid, I cared not a jot about the gender of the protagonist, or what the cover looked like. I didn’t even notice books were categorised into genres until my teens. All I ever required of a book was that the child had no parents. It sounds morbid, I know, but who can honestly tell me it’s possible to go on marvellous adventures with your mum telling you to go to bed, or to quit rolling biscuit dough on the kitchen floor?
I was ever so envious of Pippi Longstocking. She lives alone in a big house with a horse and a monkey; she doesn’t have to go to school and she’s full of fantastical stories about shipwrecks and a man with ears so big he could crawl under them in the rain! She is as much a hero to adult-me as she was to child-me.
Dani Solomon works in the Children’s & YA section at Carlton.
