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.

She would much rather spend her days arranging wild, exciting adventures to enjoy with her neighbours, Tommy and Annika, or entertaining everyone she meets with her outrageous stories.

This gift edition of Pippi Longstocking features a specially commissioned new English translation of the original Swedish text, and illustrator Lauren Child has brought her own inimitable style to this feisty and inspiring little girl.
