All aboard to the Canny Canny Islands with Pippi Longstocking!
Pippi Longstocking is one of the most popular children’s characters of all time and is still much loved by millions of children today. This anniversary edition of Pippi Longstocking in the South Seas will introduce Pippi and her adventurous spirit to a whole new generation of readers. Nine year old Pippi is an unusual and unpredictable character, she lives alone with a monkey, a horse, and no rules whatsoever! Every day is a crazy adventure with Pippi, but what else would you expect from the daughter of a swashbuckling pirate captain?!
In this collection of stories Pippi and her friends, Tommy and Annika, set sail for the Canny Canny Islands, where Pippi’s father is king. They explore secret caves, and play marbles with real pearls. Luckily the pirates and sharks they meet are no match for Pippi Longstocking!
A charming series which is hugely popular in Astrid Lindgren’s native Sweden but also all over the world. The houses and the landscape you will see wherever you are in Stockholm and the number of toys and things to buy with Pippi’s friendly face are all proof of how much this little character captures so much of the Swedish charm and love of adventure. There are a number of places to visit both in Stockholm and Vimmerby dedicated both to Pippi and Astrid Lindgren herself.
