In this book we are there when Pippi buys eighteen kilos of sweets, goes to the fairground and tames boa constrictors and villains, and is shipwrecked on a desert island with Thomas and Annika for two days. One day Captain Longstocking lays in the harbor with his hoppet and wants to take Pippi to his South Sea island, where he was washed ashore after falling overboard in a storm.Translator: Cecilia Heinig
Fakta
The first to bring Astrid Lindgren's books abroad was the publisher Damm & Søn in Oslo, with their Norwegian edition of "Pippi Longstocking" already appearing in 1946. This marked the beginning of a long-standing relationship. Today, most of her books in Norway are published by Cappelen Damm, a publishing house formed through the merger of Cappelen and Damm. Astrid's book adaptations into films also became popular in Norway, as did her famous songs. One of Astrid Lindgren's favorite books was "Hunger" by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun; she often mentioned it as one of her greatest reading experiences.
