Pippi Longstocking: Now finally with the original Swedish illustrations by Ingrid Vang Nyman. Pippi can hardly wait! Captain Longstocking arrives with the "Hoppetosse" to take his daughter to Taka-Tuka Island. And since Tommy and Annika have been sick and could use a change of scenery, their mother allows them to accompany Pippi. This marks the beginning of an exciting adventure for the three of them. For while the South Seas are beautiful, there are also wicked pirates. With her illustrations of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking, Ingrid Vang Nyman was considered ahead of her time. She demanded the same artistic quality for children's illustrations as for those aimed at adults.
