Pippi is nine years old, lives alone with a horse and a monkey, and does exactly as she pleases. She has no mother and her father is king of a cannibal island, so she has learnt to look after herself. She gets up when she likes, never goes to school, talks a great deal, keeps a chest of gold coins under the bed, and is unexpectedly strong. Her friends Tommy and Annika are green with envy – but although they have to go to school and go to bed when they are told, they still have time to join Pippi on all her great adventures. These books are full of her marvellous escapades. Illustrated throughout by Tony Ross, this three-in-one book contains Pippi Longstocking , Pippi Goes Aboard , and Pippi in the South Seas , plus an exclusive newly-discovered short story.
