![]() ![]() Pippi is a magical character who is and has been loved by all children over the years - she was created in 1945 when the author was 38 years old, and her daughter was ill with pneumonia. ![]() Pippi Longstocking in the South Seas is the 3rd in Pippi's story by Astrid Lindgren and remembering how much my daughter loved Pippi Longstocking when she was a little girl, and needing a translated fiction read for a challenge, I was happy to take up with Pippi again myself. But would they make it in time for Christmas? The fun they had when they arrived, with exploring secret caves, swimming in the ocean while Pippi kept the sharks at bay, keeping company with the island's children - all would come to an end though, when they sailed back home. When Pippi's father arrived on his ship, all the way from Canny Canny Islands where he was king, Pippi and her two friends - with the approval of Tommy and Annika's parents - climbed on board the Hoppetossa and sailed away. Pippi Longstocking was the owner of Villekulla Cottage and her friends, Tommy and Annika would visit her daily for fun and entertainment. ![]()
