This is a compilation of three books. A very good introduction to the unforgettable world of Pippi Longstocking.
Pippi Longstocking is nine years old and lives all by herself with a horse, a monkey, a suitcase full of gold, She's wild and funny and her crazy ideas are always getting her into trouble!
Pippi performs at the circus, is reunited with her long-lost father, and takes her friends Tommy and Annika on a trip to the Canny Canny Islands. She also finds a squeazle, gives a shark a good telling-off and turns 43 somersaults in the air before breakfast!
Everything's fun with Pippi around!
This edition is illustrated throughout with black and white line drawings by best-selling artist Tony Ross.

" One of my favourite parts in one of the books is; when Pippi is visited by the Police and a social worker. It has come to their attention that a 9-year-old girl is living all on her own without any adults. They want to take her to a children's home. But, says Pippi, I already live in a children's home. What! where? says the surprised adults? Here, says Pippi and points to her ramshackle house. I am a child and this is my home so I live in a children's home. And then gives off one of her cheeky big smiles"
