This beautiful edition of the children's classic Pippi Longstocking is illustrated throughout with wonderful collage pictures from the award-winning Lauren Child. The contemporary design, imaginative layout of the text, and stunning illustrations from Lauren Child all add up to a perfect gift purchase.
When the book published in hardback, it gathered many wonderful reviews, including this one from Books for Keeps: 'Lauren Child is the perfect choice to illustrate this handsome, large format edition of Pippi . . . her unmistakeable illustrative style helps to bring a modern feel to the book.'
Pippi lives in Villa Villekulla with a horse, a monkey, and a big suitcase full of gold coins. The grown-ups in her village try to make Pippi behave in ways that they think a little girl should, but Pippi has other ideas.

Pippi thinks nothing of wrestling a circus strongman, dancing a polka with burglars, or
tugging a bull's tail and her wildly unconventional lifestyle is matched by Lauren's free-spirited illustrations.
This is Book 1 in the Pippi Longstocking Series. See all Pippi Longstocking books here.
