Ur-Pippi

With a foreword by Karin Nyman and comments by Ulla Lundqvist.This book is the first publication of Astrid Lindgren's original manuscript of Pippi Longstocking, rejected at the time by Albert Bonniers Verlag and later revised and published by Rabén & Sjögren in 1945. The comments at the end of the book are by Ulla Lundqvist, author, critic, children's book researcher, etc. The rebellious Pippi Longstocking as we know her seems downright well-behaved compared to the original Pippi.Translator: Cecilie Heinig, Angelika Kutsch
