Pippi Longstocking on a German postage stamp

Peppilotta Viktualia Rulgardina Crisminta Ephraimsdotter Longstocking(original name: Pippilotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Långstrump), better known as Pippi Longstocking is the central character of a series of books by Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren.

Name Pippi was invented by Astrid Lindgren's daughter, Karin. In Swedish she is Pippi Longstocking. Translator Lilianna Lungina decided to change the name in translation Pippi on Pippi due to possible unpleasant semantic connotations of the original name for a Russian speaker.

Character

Villa "Chicken" - a house that participated in the filming of the Swedish television series about Pippi

Pippi is a little red-haired, freckled girl who lives alone in the “Chicken” villa in a small Swedish town with her animals: Mr. Nilsson the monkey and the horse. Pippi is the daughter of Captain Ephraim Longstocking, who later became the leader of a black tribe. From her father, Pippi inherited fantastic physical strength, as well as a suitcase with gold, which allows her to exist comfortably. Pippi's mother died when she was still a baby. Pippi is sure that she has become an angel and is looking at her from heaven ( “My mom is an angel, and my dad is a black king. Not every child has such noble parents.”).

Pippi “adopts,” or rather invents, various customs from different countries and parts of the world: when walking, move backwards, walk down the streets upside down, “because your feet are hot when you walk on a volcano, and your hands can be put on mittens.”

Pippi's best friends are Tommy and Annika Söttergren, children of ordinary Swedish citizens. In the company of Pippi, they often get into trouble and funny troubles, and sometimes - real adventures. Attempts by friends or adults to influence the careless Pippi lead nowhere: she does not go to school, is illiterate, familiar, and always makes up tall tales. However, Pippi has a kind heart and a good sense of humor.

Pippi Longstocking is one of Astrid Lindgren's most fantastic heroines. She is independent and does whatever she wants. For example, she sleeps with her feet on a pillow and her head under the blanket, wears multi-colored stockings when returning home, backs away because she doesn’t want to turn around, rolls out dough right on the floor and keeps a horse on the veranda.

She is incredibly strong and agile, even though she is only nine years old. She carries her own horse in her arms, defeats the famous circus strongman, scatters a whole company of hooligans, breaks off the horns of a ferocious bull, deftly throws out of her own house two policemen who came to her to forcibly take her to an orphanage, and with lightning speed throws two of them onto a closet. smashed the thieves who decided to rob her. However, there is no cruelty in Pippi's reprisals. She is extremely generous to her defeated enemies. She treats the disgraced police officers with freshly baked heart-shaped gingerbread cookies. And she generously rewards the embarrassed thieves, who have worked off their invasion of someone else's house by dancing with Pippi the Twist all night, with gold coins, this time honestly earned.

Pippi is not only extremely strong, she is also incredibly rich. It costs her nothing to buy “a hundred kilos of candy” and a whole toy store for all the children in the city, but she herself lives in an old dilapidated house, wears a single dress, sewn from multi-colored scraps, and a single pair of shoes, bought for her by her father “for growing up.” .

But the most amazing thing about Pippi is her bright and wild imagination, which manifests itself in the games that she comes up with, and in amazing stories about different countries where she visited with her captain dad, and in endless practical jokes, the victims of which are idiots. adults. Pippi takes any of her stories to the point of absurdity: a mischievous maid bites guests on the legs, a long-eared Chinese man hides under his ears when it rains, and a capricious child refuses to eat from May to October. Pippi gets very upset if someone says that she is lying, because lying is not good, she just sometimes forgets about it.

Pippi is a child's dream of strength and nobility, wealth and generosity, freedom and selflessness. But for some reason the adults don’t understand Pippi. And the pharmacist, and the school teacher, and the circus director, and even Tommy and Annika’s mother are angry with her, teach her, educate her. Apparently this is why, more than anything else, Pippi doesn’t want to grow up:

“Grown-ups never have fun. They always have a lot of boring work, stupid dresses and cuminal taxes. And they are also stuffed with prejudices and all sorts of nonsense. They think that a terrible misfortune will happen if you put a knife in your mouth while eating, and so on.”

But “who said you need to become an adult?” No one can force Pippi to do what she doesn't want!

Books about Pippi Longstocking are full of optimism and constant faith in the very best.

Pippi Langstrump

Series of books; 1945 - 2000

A series of short and funny stories about an orphan girl who had enormous physical strength. The events take place at the Chicken Villa, where the girl Pippi lives with her pet monkey, Mr. Nils, and a horse.

The series includes books

Pippi moves into the villa "Chicken" (Pippi Langstrump; 1945)

For a long time, adult residents of the small Swedish town where Pippi Longstocking settled could not come to terms with the fact that the little girl lived unattended (after all, thieves could easily get into her), and did not receive proper upbringing and education. And although Pippi never went to school, she eventually won everyone’s love and respect by rescuing two kids from a burning house.

Pippi is getting ready to go (Pippi Langstrump gar ombord; 1946)

Pippi, Tommy and Annika spend day after day in exciting activities - participating in a school excursion, having fun at a fair and even being “shipwrecked” on a desert island - and it seems that the idyll will never end. But one day, the captain of the “Jumper” and the black king Ephraim Longstocking appears on the threshold of the “Chicken” villa.

Pippi in the country of Merry (Pippi Langstrump i Soderhavet; Pippi Longstocking on the Island of Currecurredoutes; Pippi Longstocking on the Island of Currecurredoutes; 1948)

As the proverb says, there would be no happiness, but misfortune would help. Tommy and Annika were put to bed by measles for two whole weeks, but their parents let them sail on the schooner “Jumper” along with Pippi and her father Ephraim, the Negro king. So, goodbye, strict Miss Rosenblum - and hello, sunny Veseliya!

Robbery of the Christmas Tree, or Grab What You Want from Pippi Longstocking (Pippi Langstrump har julgransplundring; 1979)

Everyone knows that Christmas is the most important holiday of the year, when everyone gives each other gifts and good mood reigns everywhere. Pippi cannot ignore such an important event and, as a result, sweets, fruits and small souvenirs wonderfully “grow” on the Christmas tree, near the villa of this prankster.

Pippi Longstocking in Khmilniki Park (Pippi Langstrump i Humlegården; Pippi Longstocking in the Park Where the Hop Grows; 2010)

The story “Pippi Longstocking in Khmilniki Park,” written back in 1949 for Children’s Day, was lost, and then 50 years later in 1999 it was discovered in the archives of the Royal Library of Stockholm. The writer herself, who had already forgotten about it after reading it, laughed and allowed “to awaken this fairy tale to life from the sleep of Sleeping Beauty.” The story tells about the unexpected move of Pippi, Tommy and Annika to Khmilniki Park to restore order there.

The trilogy about the adventures of Pippi Longstocking was created by Astrid Lindgren from 1945 to 1948. The incredible story about a girl with red pigtails brought the writer world fame. Today her Peppilotta is one of the most recognizable characters in world culture. The story about Pippi simply could not be bad, because initially it was invented for the person most dear to her - her daughter.

Part one: Pippi arrives at the Chicken Villa

The life of the children of one small Swedish town was calm and measured. On weekdays they went to school, on weekends they walked in the yard, fell asleep in their warm beds and obeyed mom and dad. This is how Tommy and Annika Settergren lived. But sometimes, playing in their garden, they still sadly dreamed of friends. “What a pity,” Annika sighed, “that no one lives in the house next door.” “It would be great,” agreed Tommy, “if children could live there.”

One fine day, the dream of the young Settergrens came true. A very unusual tenant appeared in the house opposite - a nine-year-old girl named Pippi Longstocking.

Pippi was a very unusual child. Firstly, she came to the town alone. She had only a nameless horse and a monkey, Mr. Nilsson, for company. Pippi's mother died many years ago, her father - Ephraim Longstocking - a former navigator, Thunder of the Seas - went missing during a ship wreck, but Pippi is convinced that he reigns on some Negro island. Pippi's full name is Peppilotta Viktualia Rolgardina Crisminta Ephraimsdotter, until she was nine years old she traveled with her father across the seas, and now she has decided to settle in the Chicken Villa.

When leaving the ship, Pippi took nothing except two things - Mr. Nilsson's monkey and a box of gold. Oh yes! Pippi has enormous physical strength - so the girl carried the heavy box playfully. When Pippi's thin figure moved away, the entire ship's crew almost cried, but the proud little girl did not turn around. She turned the corner, quickly wiped away a tear and went to buy a horse.

When Tommy and Annika saw Pippi for the first time, they were very surprised. She was not at all like the other girls in the town - carrot-colored hair braided in tight, sticking braids, a freckled nose, a homemade dress made from red and green scraps, high stockings (one black, the other brown - whichever ones were found) and black shoes in several sizes more (as Pippi later explained, her father bought them for growth).

The brother and sister encountered Pippi when she, as usual, walked backwards. To the question “why are you backing away?” The red-haired girl authoritatively declared that she had recently sailed from Egypt, and everyone there was doing nothing but backing away. And that's not scary yet! When she was in India, in order to not stand out from the crowd, she had to walk on her hands.

Tommy and Annika did not believe the stranger and caught her in a lie. Pippi was not offended and honestly admitted that she had lied a little: “Sometimes I start to forget what happened and what didn’t happen. And how can you demand that a little girl whose mother is an angel in heaven and whose father is a black king speak only the truth... So if I ever accidentally lie to you, you shouldn’t be angry with me.” Tommy and Annika were quite satisfied with the answer. Thus began their amazing friendship with Pippi Longstocking.

That same day, the guys visited their new neighbor for the first time. What surprised them most was that Pippi lives alone. “Who tells you in the evenings to go to bed?” – the guys were perplexed. “I tell myself this myself,” answered Peppilotta. At first I speak kindly, but if I don’t obey, I repeat more strictly. If this doesn’t help, then it’s a big deal for me!

Hospitable Pippi bakes pancakes for the kids. She throws the eggs high into the air, two fall into the frying pan, and one breaks right on Longstocking's red hair. The girl immediately comes up with a story that raw eggs are very good for hair growth. In Brazil, it is law to smash eggs on your head. All bald people (that is, those who eat eggs and do not smear them on their heads) are taken to the police station in a police car.

The next day, Tommy and Annika got up early. They couldn't wait to meet their unusual neighbor. They found Pippi baking cakes. After the housework was completed, their stomachs were full, and the kitchen was completely dirty with flour, the guys went for a walk. Pippi told her brother and sister about her favorite hobby, which quite possibly will develop into a lifelong endeavor. Pippi has been a bookmaker for many years now. People throw away, lose, forget a lot of useful things - Longstocking patiently explained - the task of the dealer is to find these things and find a worthy use for them.

Showing off her skills, Pippi first finds a magnificent jar that, if handled correctly, can become a Gingerbread Jar, and then an empty spool. It was decided to hang the latter on a string and wear it as a necklace.

Tommy and Annika were not as lucky as Pippi, but she advised them to look into the old hollow and under the stump. What miracles! In the hollow, Tommy found a stunning notebook with a silver pencil, and Annika was lucky enough to find an amazingly beautiful box under a tree stump with multi-colored snails on the lid. Returning home, the children were firmly convinced that in the future they would become dealers.

Pippi's life in the town was getting better. Little by little, she established contacts with local residents: she beat off the yard boys who were hurting the little girl, fooled the police who came to take her to the orphanage, threw two thieves onto a closet, and then forced them to dance the twist all night.

At the same time, at nine, Pippi is completely illiterate. Once upon a time, one of her father's sailors tried to teach the girl to write, but she was a bad student. “No, Fridolf,” Peppilotta usually said, “I’d rather climb the mast or play with the ship’s cat than learn this stupid grammar.”

And now young Peppilotta has absolutely no desire to go to school, but the fact that everyone will have holidays, but she will not, really hurt Peppi, so she went to class. The educational process did not occupy the young rebel for long, and therefore Pippi had to part with school. As a farewell gift, she gave the teacher a golden bell and returned to her usual way of life at the Chicken Villa.

Adults did not like Pippi, and Tommy and Annika's parents were no exception. They believed that the new neighbor had a negative influence on the children. They constantly get into trouble with Pippi, wander around from morning to night and return dirty and grimy. And what can we say about the disgusting manners of this young lady. During dinner at the Settergrens', to which Pippi was invited, she chatted constantly, told tall tales, and ate a whole butter cake without sharing a piece with anyone.

But adults could not prevent them from communicating with Pippi, because for Tommy and Annika she became the real friend they had never had.

Part two: the return of Captain Ephroim

Pippi Longstocking lived at the Chicken Villa for a whole year. She was practically never separated from Tommy and Annika. After school, brother and sister immediately ran to Pippi to do their homework with her. The little mistress did not mind. “Maybe a little learning will come into me. I can’t say that I suffered so much from a lack of knowledge, but maybe you really can’t become a Real Lady if you don’t know how many Hottentots live in Australia.”

Having finished their lessons, the children played games or sat down near the stove, baked waffles and apples and listened to the incredible stories of Pippi that happened to her when she sailed the seas with her father.

And on weekends there was even more entertainment. You could go shopping (Pippi doesn’t have a lot of money!) and buy a hundred kilos of candy for all the city kids, you could summon a ghost in the attic, or you could go in an old boat to a desert island and spend the whole day there.

One day, Tommy, Annika and Pippi were sitting in the garden of the Chicken Villa and talking about the future. As soon as Longstocking remembered her father, a tall man appeared at the gate. Pippi threw herself on his neck as fast as she could and hung there, swinging her legs. This was Captain Efroim.

After a shipwreck, Ephraim Longstocking actually found himself on a desert island. The locals at first wanted to take him prisoner, but as soon as he uprooted the palm tree, they immediately changed their minds and made him their king. Their hot island is located in the middle of the ocean and is called Veselia. In the first half of the day, Ephroim ruled the island, and in the second he built a boat to return for his beloved Peppilotta.

In the last two weeks he has passed a lot of laws and given a lot of instructions, so this should be enough for the duration of his absence. But there is no need to hesitate - he and Pippi (now a real black princess) need to return to their subjects.

A fairy tale by Astrid Lindgren A fairy tale by Astrid Lindgren will tell you about the unusual fate of an adopted boy, who later finds his real parents and becomes the heir to the throne.

The next fairy tale by Astrid Lindgren shows us the life of the boy Rasmus, who ran away from the orphanage in search of happiness and what changed in his life later.

Part three: journey to Veselia and return home

Tommy and Annika were glad that Pippi met Papa Ephroim again, but they were very sad that parting with their best friend was approaching. Now they couldn’t imagine life without Pippi. Seeing Peppilotta off at the port, Tommy could barely hold back his tears, and Annika sobbed uncontrollably. Not wanting anyone to cry because of her, Pippi leaves the ship at the last moment. “Papa Ephraim,” Pippi explains, “I don’t want to hurt Tommy and Annika. Moreover, children at my age should lead a measured life, and not swim the seas. Yes, children should lead a life measured by themselves.”

Still, Pippi manages to persuade Tommy and Annika’s parents to let their children go to Veselia for the holidays. The trip turned out to be extraordinary, the guys made new friends among the islanders and returned home full of impressions.

Christmas was approaching. Tommy and Annika dreamed about the future. They will never, never become adults, they will live here forever, play with Pippi, and swim to Veselia in the summer. But from all the travels they will always come back home, it’s very nice to know that you have somewhere to return to.

Part 1. Pippi moves into the villa "Chicken"

Chapter 1. How Pippi settled in the “Chicken” villa

“On the outskirts of a small Swedish town,” in the middle of a neglected garden, there stood an old house - the “Chicken” villa, in which a nine-year-old red-haired girl named Pippi Longstocking settled. She lived completely alone - the girl’s mother died long ago, and her sailor father was shipwrecked, and since then no one has heard anything about him. Pippi believed that her father was alive and, while waiting for him, settled in their old house, taking with her a horse, “a little monkey called Mr. Nilsson - she received it as a gift from her dad - and a large suitcase filled with gold coins.”

Next door to the Chicken Villa lived the friendly Settergren family. When the children Annika and Tommy met Pippi, they happily realized that now they would definitely not be bored.

Chapter 2. How Pippi gets into a fight

The next morning, the Settergrens got up early to meet their new friend. Together they went for a walk, and soon saw how five boys “began to beat the girl.” Pippi could not stay away and stood up for the baby. One of the boys pushed Pippi, and a fight ensued, during which the girl easily defeated all her opponents.

Chapter 3. How Pippi plays tag with the police

Soon all the residents of the city knew that a girl lived completely alone in an abandoned villa. The adults decided that this was unacceptable - “all children should have someone to raise them.” It was decided to send Pippi to an orphanage. When the police came for her, Pippi began to play tag with them, and then put them outside the gate, treating them to buns. The police returned to the city and informed everyone “that Pippi is not suitable for an orphanage.”

Chapter 4. How Pippi goes to school

Tommy and Annika persuaded Pippi to "go to school with them." The girl agreed, but during the lesson it turned out that she could not answer a single question asked by the teacher. Pippi quickly realized that studying was a boring activity and gave up going to school.

Chapter 5. How Pippi climbs into the hollow

One day, Pippi invited her friends to climb a mighty branchy oak tree and have a tea party there. Annika and Tommy were completely delighted - “they had never had the chance to climb a tree in their lives.” Pippi noticed a large hollow in the oak tree, which she immediately decided to climb into. The Settergrens followed her example.

Chapter 6. How Pippi arranges an excursion

One day Pippi Longstocking invited her friends to go on an excursion. She took with her Mr. Nilsson, who disappeared during a picnic. The children began to look for him everywhere, and Tommy came across a huge angry bull, who “lifted Tommy on his horns and threw him very high.” Pippi immediately rushed to help her friend, who killed the bull so much that he fell asleep from fatigue. When the monkey was found, the children went home.

Chapter 7. How Pippi goes to the circus

When the circus came to town, Pippi bought the best seats for herself and her friends. Seeing the deft rider, she immediately jumped on the back of the horse behind the circus performer. The latter was so surprised “that she almost fell to the ground.” Then the restless girl performed on the rope better than a circus tightrope walker, and put the most important strongman on both shoulder blades. Calling the circus boring, Pippi sat down in a chair and fell asleep.

Chapter 8. How thieves get to Pippi

One day, thieves climbed into the Hen villa, believing that a lonely girl would not offer them any resistance. They wanted to steal a chest of gold, but Pippi easily dealt with the robbers, forcing them to dance the twist until they dropped. Afterwards she treated them to sandwiches and finally gave them a gold coin.

Chapter 9. How Pippi is invited to a cup of coffee

The Settergrens' mother baked a delicious pie in anticipation of the guests. She allowed Annika and Tommy to bring Peppi too. However, the red-haired girl, who had painted her face with colored crayons and was dressed “to the nines,” behaved at a party in the most disgusting way: she ate the entire pie, took sweets with her, spilled sugar on the floor, did not stop talking for a minute and clowned around. As a result, Tommy and Annika’s mother could not stand it and kicked the prankster out the door.

Chapter 10. How Pippi saves two kids

One day there was a fire in the city, and two children found themselves in a house engulfed in flames. Firefighters could not reach them because the ladder was too short. Seeing this, Pippi was not at a loss and, thanks to her amazing strength and dexterity, saved the children.

Chapter 11. How Pippi celebrates her birthday

When Pippi was invited to the Settergrens’ birthday, the children bought her a beautiful music box, “gutting out their piggy bank for this.” Pippi also gave her guests gifts. That day, the friends had a wonderful time: they played and had fun until late in the evening, until their dad came for Annika and Tommy.

Part 2. Pippi is getting ready to go

Chapter 1. How Pippi goes shopping

One day, "Tommy, Annika and Pippi with Mr. Nilsson on their shoulder" went shopping. Walking into a candy store, she bought “a hundred kilos of candy.” Pippi began handing out caramels to children on the street, and “here began a candy feast that had never happened before in this small town.”

Chapter 2. How Pippi writes a letter and goes to school

Pippi's friends, noticing the monstrous number of mistakes she made, decided that the girl still “should go to school and learn to write better.” But Pippi couldn’t bring herself to study, and then the teacher invited her to go on an excursion with the class.

Chapter 3. How Pippi participates in a school excursion

On an excursion, Pippi noticed how one person was cruelly treating a horse. She could not watch this indifferently, and taught the man a lesson, forcing him to carry heavy bags on his own. At the tea party, Pippi again showed bad manners, and the teacher told her how to behave when visiting.

Chapter 4. How Pippi goes to the fair

Once a year, “in the small quiet town where Pippi lived,” a fair was held. It was a lot of fun that day: the barrel organ was playing, the carousel was spinning, the shooting gallery was working, everyone around was noisy and laughing. After all sorts of entertainment, the children went to the theater, where they were so inspired by the acting that they could not contain their emotions and were taken out into the street.

Chapter 5. How Pippi gets shipwrecked

Once Pippi invited her friends to go to a desert island on the lake. They got into an old boat and set off. The friends had a wonderful time on the island, but when it was time to return home, they realized that the boat had disappeared. However, the boat was soon found, and the guys got home safely.

Chapter 6. How Pippi receives a dear guest

A year later, after Pippi settled in the villa, a very fat man “with a red mustache, in a blue sailor’s uniform” appeared on the doorstep. It turned out that it was Pippi's father, the captain who was shipwrecked off the island of Veselia. He told how he lived on an island, where the locals, amazed by his unprecedented strength, made him their king. Ephraim Longstocking replied that he had come to pick up his daughter, and his wonderful schooner, the Jumper, was already anchored in the port. Tommy and Annika felt very sad - obviously they would soon have to say goodbye to their friend.

Chapter 7. How Pippi organizes a farewell feast

The next day, Pippi told her friends that she would now probably be a “Negro princess.” She said that she would return here only when she became a “pensioner.” However, “neither Tommy nor Annika was consoled by this promise.” To cheer up her friends a little, Pippi organized a farewell feast.

Chapter 8. How Pippi sets sail

The Settergrens went to accompany Pippi to the port. When she boarded the schooner, the children could not stand it and burst into tears. In turn, Pippi could not bear the tears of her friends - she decided to stay with them, receiving another heavy suitcase with gold from her father.

Part 3. Pippi in the land of Merry

Chapter 1. How the “Chicken” villa is bought from Pippi

One day an important gentleman appeared in the town, who, seeing an abandoned villa, decided to buy it. He spent a lot of time in the company of children, never waiting for the owner. As a result, the important gentleman got into an argument with Peppa, and she unceremoniously kicked him out into the street.

Chapter 2. How Pippi encourages Aunt Laura

One day, their old Aunt Laura came to the Settergrens, and they could not leave the house. Then Pippi decided to visit friends and at the same time chat with her aunt. She reassured Annika and Tommy, saying that she knows how to communicate with aunts - “you need to encourage your aunts, that’s the whole secret.” Having learned that Aunt Laura was not feeling well, the girl began to tell how one day a brick fell on her grandmother’s head, and then she ran into a double bass. Pippi was “gagged all the time” because she didn’t let anyone say a word.

Chapter 3. How Pippi looks for cucaryamba

The neighbor kids came to Pippi, who learned a new word - “kukaryamba”, and tried to find this object. None of the children knew what it was either, and they all went together in search of the cucumber. When they met an unknown beetle, Pippi joyfully exclaimed that this was the cucaryamba.

Chapter 4. How Pippi invents a new sport

Every six months, the rich and very stingy lady Miss Rosenblum distributed gifts to the most “obedient and diligent” students. Pippi also appeared at the student survey, and Miss Rosenblum began asking treacherous questions, and the girl answered her in her mischievous manner. She really enjoyed “this new sport of asking each other questions.” She took aside the children who had not passed the survey from the strict lady and distributed sweets to them.

Chapter 5. How Pippi receives the letter

With the onset of winter, Pippi received a letter from her father in which he asked her to come to Veselia, where everyone was eagerly awaiting their princess.

Chapter 6. How Pippi sets sail

Pippi really wanted to visit Veselia, because “being a black princess is not a bad thing for a girl who doesn’t go to school.” Annika and Tommy were completely sad, but Pippi managed to persuade their parents to let the children go sailing, and soon the whole group of friends found themselves aboard the Jumper.

Chapter 7. How Pippi comes ashore

When, after a long voyage, the ship approached the shores of Veselia, “the crowd greeted it with loud cries.” Ephraim immediately began his royal duties, and the children began to explore the picturesque island, which they really liked.

Chapter 8. How Pippi talks to the shark

Pippi with Tommy, Annika and local dark-skinned children often relaxed on the beach, where they frolicked with might and main in the azure water. But one day Tommy was attacked by a huge shark. Pippi arrived in time - she lifted the shark above the water and began to scold it. The shark was very scared and hurried to swim away.

Chapter 9. How Pippi explains to Jim and Book

New friends showed Pippi and the Settergrens a cave overlooking the sea. It was warm and cozy there, and in addition there was a large supply of provisions. From the cave, the children saw a ship on which the bandits Buk and Jim were. They landed on the shore and demanded that the children give them all the pearls with which they were playing. A thunderstorm began, and the sailors were left to get wet in the rain.

Chapter 10. How Pippi taught the bandits a lesson

The next morning, the horse and Mr. Nilsson, worried about the long absence of the mistress, went in search of her. The bandits grabbed the horse and began to threaten the children that they would kill it if they did not get the pearls. Pippi couldn't stand it, she went down and taught the scoundrels a lesson. She then "grabbed Jim and Book by the collar, pulled them into the boat and pushed it away from the shore." The bandits no longer appeared on this island.

Chapter 11. How Pippi leaves the country of Merry

The children had a wonderful time in Veselia, but soon Annika and Tommy began to miss home. In addition, the rainy season was soon to begin and Ephraim was sure that the children would feel bad here. The guys boarded the ship and went to their native places. Much to the Settergrens' surprise, Pippi also returned to the Hen Villa.

Chapter 12. Pippi doesn't want to be an adult

Annika and Tommy were very happy to return home, but they were haunted by the thought that they were late for the Christmas they always looked forward to. Imagine their surprise when the next day, when they came to visit Pippi, they saw a decorated Christmas tree, a festive table and gifts. Making plans for the future, the children came to the conclusion that they did not want to become adults at all. Then Pippi showed them three peas - “miracle pills” for growing up. The friends immediately gobbled them up, hoping that they would remain children forever, and “everyone would play and play.”

The book "Pippi Longstocking" is a description of the difficult life of a little girl named Pippi.

Pippi is an unusually extraordinary person.

Pippi is only 9 years old, but despite the fact that Pippi is forced to live without her parents, she copes well. According to the book, Pippi's mother died, and dad became the king of some African tribe. Pippi lives in an old house with her horse and monkey.

Pippi is a red-haired, ugly girl who doesn’t care what she looks like. Pippi wears a simple dress of incredible color and style, absolutely unsuitable not only for adults, but also for children.

Pippi's house is a terrible mess, she does whatever she wants, and sincerely doesn't understand why she can't, for example, roll out dough on the floor, walk backwards and sleep upside down.

Pippi has friends - Tommy and Annika. She is very strong and original. Pippi hates rules and sincerely does not understand how adults can live such a boring life.

Pippi lives as she pleases, fortunately there is no one to control her. Pippi constantly gets into funny stories and always comes out of them with dignity.

Pippi has practically no enemies. But there are people who hurt her in one way or another (for example, the thieves who tried to rob her). Pippi always defeats such individuals, punishes them in her own way, but always lets them go in peace.

Pippi is a very kind girl, who has essentially experienced a lot of troubles and misfortunes.

Pippi is a big dreamer, but those around her perceive her fantasies with misunderstanding. They consider her a liar, which really hurts her.

The story about Pippi includes several short stories. The book is very popular among children of several generations.

In my opinion,

Astrid Lindgren in her book wanted to show how confused the adult generation is with its problems, boundaries and rules of adult life. So much so that we force our children into our framework, thus depriving them of originality, originality and imagination. And how difficult it is in our lives for people who have managed to retain in themselves the qualities that Pippi possesses.
