James Marshall's offbeat and inventive telling of this familiar tale will enchant readers, young and old.A delightfully irreverent retelling of an old favorite is illustrated with delicious humor and contemporary touches. —Booklist, starred review

The grown-ups in the village try to make Pippi behave in ways that they think a little girl should, but Pippi has other ideas! 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.

Just like Tommy and Annika, readers are instantly charmed by her warmth and sense of fun. Astrid Lindgren''s children''s classic first appeared in 1945. Astrid once commented, ''I write to amuse the child within me, and can only hope that other children may have some fun that way, too.''
