Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren
5.0

A very fun, nostalgic read.

I always used to watch the 1988 version on video whenever I went to visit my grandma. I'd watch it again and again, I absolutely loved it!

I was gifted this as a child but never read it. It was very different to the film and I think if I had read this before the seeing the film, I would dislike the film. But I watched the film around the age of 5 and grew up with it, so I hold it close to my heart.

The story was just as enjoyable! I also loved Lauren Child's illustrations and they also brought back a lot of nostalgia, as I grew up watching Charlie and Lola and reading Clarice Bean and her other picture books.
