7th December: Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren, illustrated by Lauren Child
If you haven’t met Pippi, it’s time you did! She lives on her own with a horse, a monkey and a big suitcase of gold coins. She ignores the advice of grown-ups and spends her time having adventures with her neighbours, wrestling a circus strongman, dancing a polka with burglars or tugging a bull’s tail. This classic, which is suitable for readers of 7 upwards, has been updated by the brilliant Lauren Child (of Charlie and Lola fame) and is available in different formats.
