Pippi Longstocking lives alone in Villa Villekulla with her horse and monkey. She also has a suitcase full of gold coins and that's why she can buy all the candy and toys she wants. Besides being smart, generous, funny, independent and imaginative, she is the strongest girl in the world and never allows anything or anyone to undermine her self-confidence, or any bully to get away with it. Pippi Longstocking started a revolution in the children's room when it was first published in 1945. Since then, several generations of young and old around the world have come to know and love her.
Astrid Anna Emilia Lindgren was a Swedish writer of fiction and screenplays. She is most notable for several children's book series, featuring Pippi Longstocking, Emil of Lönneberga, Karlsson-on-the-Roof, and The Six Bullerby Children, and for the children's fantasy novels Mio, My Son; Ronia the Robber's Daughter; and The Brothers Lionheart. Lindgren worked on the Children's Literature Editorial Board at the Rabén & Sjögren publishing house in Stockholm and wrote more than 30 books for children. In 2017, she was calculated to be the world's 18th most translated author. Lindgren had by 2010 sold roughly 167 million books worldwide. In 1994, she was awarded the Right Livelihood Award for "her unique authorship dedicated to the rights of children and respect for their individuality". Her campaigning for animal welfare led to a new law, Lex Lindgren, in time for her 80th birthday.
