Pippi Longstocking ANNOTATION
Escapades of a lucky little girl who lives with a horse and a monkey--but without any parents--at the edge of a Swedish village.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Tommy and his sister Annika have a new neighbor, and her name is PippiLongstocking. She has crazy red pigtails, no parents to tell her what to do, a horse that lives on her porch, and a flair for the outrageous that seems to lead to one adventure after another!
FROM THE CRITICS

Everyone's favorite irrepressible and independent girl leaps from the speakers as Esther Benson spares no effort to channel the fun and spunk of Pippi. It's refreshing to hear such an unjaded story in today's cynical world. Listen as Pippi takes on the establishment, burglars, and conventional villagers who can't grasp her fearlessness. Strangely, she is never chastised for being who she is. We need more of the Pippi spirit as portrayed here—free, heroic, and uncompromising. A must for all children, and some adults.
