While much of the humor felt aimed at a more adult audience, the resolution felt overly simplistic. Fun but forgettable. The format change to ebook played mix and match with the text and footnotes. Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC.

An absolute delight! I enjoyed Pippi‘s exuberance as much now as I did as a child. I wouldn‘t want to BE Pippi, but I‘d love to have a friend like her!

Finished last night for #ChildrensClassicRead2024 It was fun to reread Pippi, it‘s been decades & the books & movies were something I shared with my dad. As a child I wanted to hang out with Pippi, as an adult, she tired me out! 😉 I need to see if I can find the movies now.

So fun to revisit Pippi! This is the edition I had as a child.

I read the 2020 translation in ebook and found some differences from mine. Pippi refers to “fly poop“ -- I was positive I had never seen that, and indeed it was “fly speck“ back in the day.

And while in the old translation, Pippi ate a “rosy mushroom,“ in the new one it's a “beautiful red death cap toadstool.“ I'm not sure which I find more appalling! 😂

A fun and educational book for children. Please click on the link to read my review of this interesting book

I am beyond thrilled about this. I haven‘t been in years but Jane and Much Ado About Nothing will make a great couple of days in Ashland.
