	Pluslicens: Astrid Lindgren
		Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking, the strongest girl in the world, has bright red hair, odd stockings and lives all alone in a wacky house with her horse and a monkey called Mr.
		Pippi does things her own way: she sleeps with her feet on the pillow and her head under the covers, she bakes cookies on the floor, performs her own act at the circus, and takes on burglars single-handedly - fun, cheeky, strong and kind, she has become an icon for worldwide child-empowerment.
		Vang Nyman illustrated the three original Pippi Longstocking novels as well as picture books and a comic version originally published in the children's magazine Klumpe Dumpe 1957-59 and then released as a comic album in several countries throughout the world.

	Pippi Longstocking: Swedish rebel and feminist role model - SWEDEN.SE
		Pippi Longstocking is a girl rebel, and for the past 60 years she has been helping to liberate children all over the globe.
		Pippi is fun because she breaks with conventional ideas about how girls should behave – and also, perhaps, makes fun of adults’ gender roles in the process.
		Pippi is definitely not an object, and evidently not prepared to succumb to the cosmetics industry, either.

		When Pippi disrupted her neighbor's genteel tea party by sticking her face in the cake and then literally pulling the rug out from underneath the other guests, I cracked up.
		Pippi's life is fun enough that she doesn't need to substiute spending or grandstanding for happiness.
		Pippi is just the sweetest little thing, her clothes look like they've been washed, and her trademark stick-out braids curve out tastefully from a split French braid in back.

		Since Pippi Longstocking was first published in 1950, the escapades of the incomparable Pippi,the girl with upside-down braids and no parents to tell her what to do, have delighted boys and girls alike.
		Pippi is, in that respect, to elementary school children what Superman is to the people of metropolis.
		However, with Pippi, it works, because rather than pretend that she's up against some terrible foe or trying to add tension to the story, Pippi lives her life almost strictly for the humor and fun of it.

	Pippi Longstocking, Superstar !!!
		'Pippi Longstocking' is how English-speaking territories know Lindgren's cheeky creation, and her adventures have charmed and inspired children, and the young at heart, everywhere since the 1940s, though it took several refusals before the book was published, some perceiving Pippi as a threat to Swedish family values.
		Here's another thing to ponder: Pippi is stinking rich, but uses her wealth to buy candy and toys for all the town's children, and she is unstintingly generous to her two constant companions Tommy and Annika, the next-door kids she 'liberated' from their humdrum life.
		Pippi is a prolific (though never malicious) liar, and her friends constantly challenge the veracity of her often ludicrous claims and anecdotes.

		The other thing that bothered me was that the author bothered to create a defiant, irreverant, spunky girl hero, yet her two friends are stereotypically male and female, to the extent that they don't even have personalities--they're just cardboard cutouts, foils for the main character.
		Not only is Annika fearful, hesitant, afraid of risking adult disapproval, and not wanting to get her dress dirty, but she's not in the least influenced by Pippi to be more adventurous.
		They were excited to go to bed each night, ready for the light to go off and mommy or daddy to read to them with a flash light.

		Pippi is someone who exists in a perpetual state of childhood playfulness and chaos where nonsense makes sense – watering flowers in the rain, unable to see the point in going to school.
