Astrid Lindgren
Pippi is nine years old, lives alone with a horse and a money, and does exactly as she pleases. She has no mother and her father is king of a cannibal island, so she has learnt to look after herself. She gets up when she likes, never goes to school, talks a great deal, keeps a chest of gold coins under the bed, and is unexpectedly strong. The book is full of her marvellous escapades.

"I loved this book as a kid!"

"I don’t want to sound like some whingeing parent because I’m a graduate student in their 20s but I think this book could be a potentially irresponsible thing to let your children read. Pippi is a horrid role model, entirely uneducated and spewing amazing uncultured ideas about other cultures and this lack of awareness of the outside world is encouraged. Yes I believe there should be room for kids to be kids but this book was not what that should be."

"A nice little palate cleanser between my first steps onto the year. A children's book is always bound to show you a silver lining whenever you need it, and that's exactly what this did to me!<br/><br/>Cute read if you need a lil pick me up."

"A moderately entertaining book for the littles. Pipi is crazy strong and lies a lot. She may have a pirate dad searching the world for her. And she lives alone and has never been to school. Also she has lots of gold. Did a kid actually write this?"
