Pippi Longstocking
Pippi Longstocking is definitely Astrid Lindgren's most famous
and popular book character. In fact, Pippi Longstocking is the
twelfth most translated book in the world. She has her
own books, movies, plays, TV shows, a comic strip,
dolls, and web pages. As you might know she is the strongest,
smartest, happiest, and most fun girl in the world and a friend of all the world's children.
We would like to express our
appreciation to Christin Gahstrom,
who answered our request for pictures
of Pippi from the 1940's movie.
Below is one of the pictures she gave
me. It is a poster from the movie. She
has also told us that the person who
played Pippi in this movie was 26
years old at the time!
