The first book about Pippi Longstocking, the strongest and kindest and jolliest and richest girl in the whole world! She lives all alone in Villekulla Cottage with her horse, her pet monkey, Mr Nelson, and an entire suitcase filled with gold coins. Tommy and Annika live next door, and since Pippi moved in, life has become a lot more fun! Only Pippi bakes gingerbread biscuits right on the floor, is able to lift up her horse with one arm, and plays tag with the policemen who come to take her to the children’s home.
