What child doesn't sometimes dream of being on their own, free from the rules of adults and able to do exactly what they please? Pippi Longtockings invites children into that very world, her world, where anything goes. Living on her own with a horse as a house pet and a monkey named Mr. Nilsson, Pippi turns convention upside down, along with most of the town! With pirate's gold for money and plenty to do and see, Pippi quickly captures the hearts of two neighbor children, and together they embark on a series of hilarious antics to the chagrin of adults everywhere. This freckled face red head is not only a hero to children around the world, but strongly appeals to the child inside all of us. Pippi seems a valiant reminder that the world is, ultimately, what we make it, and that some rules are made to be broken.
