Pippi Longstocking Series

(35 reviews)

Pippi Longstocking is one of our favourite book characters and a cultural legend who has inspired generations of readers, with celebrity fans ranging from Madonna to Maggie O’Farrell.

The first Pippi Longstocking book was published in 1945 in Sweden, with an English translation following in 1950. Swedish author Astrid Lindgren had created a girl character who completely broke with tradition with her rebellious nature and unconventional lifestyle. Although some parts of the original books are now considered outdated, Pippi's character and the children's adventures still appeal to readers all over the world.

A highly unusual nine year old, Pippi lives alone with a monkey, a horse and no rules whatsoever! Pippi is strong, generous, smart and independent, with mismatched stockings, wild red hair, freckles and super-strength. Her wild and exciting adventures, with neighbours Tommy and Annika, have gripped children all over the world for over 70 years.

There have been countless editions and adaptations of Lindgren’s stories since the original publications illustrated by Ingrid Nyman. Illustrators from Lauren Child to Mini Grey have offered their own interpretations of Pippi, and there have been several films and TV series, including a new Pippi Longstocking movie in development now.

The stories are suitable for readers 6+ and you can read them in any order.

All the Pippi Longstocking books in order:
Book 1: Pippi Longstocking (1950)
Book 2: Pippi Longstocking Goes Aboard (1957)
Book 3: Pippi Longstocking in the South Seas (1959)
