Pippi Longstocking is one of those little girls you wouldn’t want to get in a fight with. Described to have the “strength of 10 policmen”, or “the might of Superman”, Pippi Longstocking could carry anything twice, even triple, her size if she wanted to or outsmart an adult, and her fellow youngster, with her tales and wits. She may not be a superhero, but she has the loyalty and strength of one.
Pippi Longstocking
Although Shirley Temple is known to have had popularized the tale in the United States, Pippi is actually a Swedish story book heroine and was written primarily to entertain the daughter of the author, Astrid Lindgren. The adventures of Pippi are different from the usual tales where girls are protagonists; for one, Pippi is more adventurous and often immerses herself in environments where young boys are thought to be in. For example, sailing is known to be a man’s sport but Pippi Longstocking has the strength and wits to outlast any challenge on the sea. This gift of being highly competitive probably comes from her father, Captain Longstocking, a ship captain himself.
Pippi’s adventures revolve around her search for her father who met an accident in the seas and was believed to have died. However, unknown to Pippi, her father has become the chief of a group of natives in an uncharted island far away.
