Her four best friends are her horse and monkey, and the neighbours' children, Tommy and Annika.Īfter being rejected by Bonnier Publishers in 1944, Lindgren's first manuscript was accepted by Rabén and Sjögren.
She is the daughter of a buccaneer captain and has adventure stories to tell about that, too. Pippi, like Peter Pan, does not want to grow up. Her anger comes out in extreme cases, such as when a man mistreats his horse. She often makes fun of unreasonable adults, especially if they are pompous and condescending. Pippi is red-haired, freckled, unconventional and superhumanly strong – able to lift her horse one-handed. Pippi was named by Lindgren's daughter Karin, who asked her mother for a get-well story when she was off school. Pippi Longstocking ( Swedish: Pippi Långstrump) is the fictional main character in an eponymous series of children's books by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. Pippi Longstocking as illustrated by Ingrid Vang Nyman on the Swedish cover of Pippi Goes On Board
