I read this for my 100 ultimate books list. I remember loving the movie when I was a child. I wish I would have read or has it read to me then. It would have been magical. It still made me laugh, being an adult.

Pippi Longstocking. In Germany, you don't have to explain anything about the story or about Pippi. We grew up with it. My primary school was even named after Astrid Lindgren (it's not anymore, which is a shame).
However, I always liked her other books more, the Kids from Bullerbü or Michel. This extraordinary girl always was a bit too much for me. Even as a child I preferred Lindgren's (and other Scandinavian author's) sad stories.

My daughter only still gets a glimpse of what's happening in those stories but she liked the crazy ways of Pippi, Herr Nilson and kleiner Onkel. And that's what's important :)
