Многослойная книжка!!!

Образ Пеппи поражает своей глубиной и драматизмом!!! Такое в детской литературе (тем более, в книжках для самых маленьких) не часто встречается!!!

Рад, что перечитал эту трилогию (в детстве я её не очень любил), она разбудила во мне парочку приятных детских воспоминаний! И хотя здесь опять-таки нет толковых приключений, финал (трогательно-мудрый) окупает всё с лихвой!!!!!!!!!

Ik ga geen rating aan dit boek geven, want ik zou niet weten hoe ik dit in hemelsnaam moet beoordelen.

Jemig, dit boek is racistisch. Het is een product van zijn tijd, zullen we maar zeggen, maar ik werd echt nogal onpasselijk bij het kolonialisme en de woordkeuzes en de verhoudingen tussen de witte en de zwarte mensen en eigenlijk vrijwel alles in dit boek. Ik vind Pippi en haar vrienden erg boeiend, maar dit deel had van mij niet zo gehoeven, zullen we maar zeggen

Overall, a better story than Pippi Goes On Board. She's far less obnoxious as the trio travels to Koratuttutt and lives the native life.

Well, this one certainly aged worse than the other ones. Especially if you have an old version which has not yet removed the usage of the N-word. It's definitely a bit racist, not in bad faith but it's still there.

Only so-so. Honestly, I couldn't get passed all the "little black children" references. Lots of read aloud editing. Ouch. Otherwise, a typical Pippi book, which the girls find hilarious.
