Nice book for children with many short stories about childish playing imagination and the importance of being involved into the process of anything you are spending your time on. The writing is not very consistent (for example the second part of the book), but that's OK. There are several parts with nice humor too, so my daughter loved the stories.

Pippi is such an enchanting character. She's refreshingly peculiar and she owns up to it. She is an unlikely heroine who has a heart for adventure, justice and goodwill. I appreciate that her imagination is rich, that her spirit is strong, and that her creativity is endless. Without question, I have enjoyed reacquainting myself with her stories.

It was the favorite book of mine when I was a child. Pippi was my heroine, and when I remember her and think about how she influenced me, I think she still is.
The most amazing thing about Pippi is how she can turn everything into a miracle. The most boring things like washing the floor become adventures with her. She is not pretending that she likes them, like a good girl she is not. She just makes them, so that she could like them, and poor people around would just stare enviously, "Oh, I wish I could participate in this sea battle too... I mean, wash the floor." That's the attitude!

Astrid Lindgren was one of the best authors of childrens books who has ever existed. Her way of telling a story was magical, and it's hard not to love it. It speaks to many different types of people, which just makes the stories even more amazing. Pippi is the girl so many children always wanted to be like; there's nothing she can't do, she's strong, witty, independent, and just doesn't give a f*ck about what people think of her.

Jag ville gilla den men det jag tycker att den är tyvärr rasist och har giftig maskulinitet. Från en andra tid kanske men jag förordar det inte.

This compiles all three full-length Pippi novels.

It was a delightful read – and just as fun as I remember from reading as a child. Pippi is so full of spunk and mischief. She’s always good for some light-hearted fun.
