Welcome to the Villa Kunterbunt! I wonder who lives there? Allow me: Pippilotta Viktualia Rollgardina Pfefferminz Efraimstochter Langstrumpf. In short: Pippi Longstocking, the strongest girl in the world. With a monkey, a horse and a suitcase full of gold in her luggage, Pippi plunges her fellow human beings into pure chaos - and turns the lives of her new friends Tommy and Annika upside down. Completely unimpressed by robbers, policemen, Mrs. Prysselius from the children's home and her teacher, she makes the world her own.
With Pippi,Astrid Lindgren (1907-2002) - the world's most widely read children's author - created a character who has been encouraging girls everywhere to step out of line in a cheeky and self-confident way since 1945. During the Second World War, Lindgren's daughter Karin asked her mother to tell her a story about Pippi Longstocking - and the strongest girl in the world was born. The adventures of Pippi Longstocking have been translated into over 75 languages.
