PIPPI LONGSTOCKING
Pippi Longstocking is the main character in an eponymous series of children’s books by the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. Pippi is red-haired, freckled, unconventional and superhumanly strong – able to lift her horse one-handed. She is playful and unpredictable. She often makes fun of unreasonable adults, especially if they are pompous and condescending. Her anger comes out in extreme cases, such as when a man ill-treats his horse. Pippi, like Peter Pan, does not want to grow up. The Pippi books have been translated into 70 languages and made into several films and television series. (More from Wikipedia)
