“What happened here in this story made Astrid a really, really strong person,” Fischer Christensen said. The film examines the wrenching choices she was forced to make as a result, and the life lessons she drew. While still a teenager in conservative Sweden in the 1920s, the then Astrid Ericsson had an affair with her boss, the married editor-in-chief of the local newspaper, and fell pregnant. The film is based in part on a groundbreaking 2015 biography of Astrid Lindgren by Danish biographer and literary critic Jens Andersen. Astrid Lindgren is best known for her children’s books featuring the red-haired, superstrong girl Pippi Longstocking.(Wikimedia Commons)īecoming Astrid by Danish filmmaker Pernille Fischer Christensen exposes the little-known backstory behind one of the world’s most enduring girl characters, with her gravity-defying red plaits, abundant freckles and superhuman strength. This picture book is a lovely introduction to Astrid Lindgren and Pippi Longstocking.A dark secret long held by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren led her to create one of the most beloved heroines of children’s literature, Pippi Longstocking, according to a new biopic at the Berlin film festival. It is fair to say that, with Pippi next door, life is going to become one big adventure for Tommy and Annika. Pippi is unlike any child Tommy and Annika have ever met before – she is rich, independent and super strong. However, to their surprise it is a child who moves in next door, along with her horse and her monkey, Mr Nilsson. Tommy and Annika live next door to an empty house and their dearest wish is that they should have new neighbours, with children.
There is quite a lot of text, so it is probably best for 4+ if you are planning to read it to your child. I have to admit that I loved Pippi Longstocking as a child and my daughter and niece have both enjoyed her stories, but this is a lovely, colourful version, with the original illustrations.
This picture book version has been released to celebrate an almost unbelievable anniversary of 70 years since she appeared in print. This is a delightful picture book, featuring that beloved childhood character, Pippi Longstocking.
