This enchanting edition features an all-new translation by award-winning Tiina Nunnally and full-color illustrations throughout by Lauren Child, creator of Charlie and Lola. Child's pictures are the perfect match for Lindgren's text. "I discovered Pippi Longstocking when I was eight years old and found her completely inspiring . . . . an entirely free spirit," Lauren Child says. With a free-wheeling, playful design, this captivating new edition captures the essence of its beloved heroine.
