I have recently remembered Pippi Longstockings and how amazing she is! Her full name is Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Ephraim’s Daughter Longstocking…
Her story has always made me slightly sad and homesick – i think because she never has a Mother and her Dad gets lost at sea and even though they reunite eventually she decides to live in her house (Villa Villekulla) with only her monkey and her horse while he goes back to his boat. In sayying that the story always made me feel adventurous and i used to look up to her not only because she was super strong and cheeky but because of her amazing pigtails and stripey knee highs! She is the ultimate tomboy and i love her for that!
