She sails boats! She lifts horses above her head! She goes on a fantastic quest to discover the meaning of a word! What’s not to love about Pippi Longstocking?

From Villa Villa Villekulla to the South Seas, siblings Tommy and Annika are delightedly led along by the redheaded scamp into one scheme after another. Pippi offers Tommy and Annika the same glittering birthday-present she offers the reader: an escape from the drudgery of schoolwork and boring adult parties to a world of adventure, friendship, and enchanted days.

Recommended for readers eight and up.
