Astrid Lindgren composed a fairy tale evening after eveningabout the girl Peppi for her daughter Karin, who was sick at that time. The name for the main character, long and difficult to pronounce for a Russian person, was invented by the writer's daughter herself.
Astrid Lindgren is the daughter of two Swedish farmers andgrew up in a large and very friendly family. She settled the heroine of the fairy tale in a small dreary town, where life flows smoothly, and nothing changes. The writer herself was a very active person. The Swedish Parliament, at its request and support of the majority of the population, passed a law on which it is impossible to offend domestic animals. Your attention will be below the theme of the fairy tale and its brief content. Pippi Long stocking, the main characters, Annika and Tommy, will also be characterized. In addition to them, we also love Baby and Carlson, who invented the world-famous writer. She received the most treasured for each storyteller award - the medal of H.K. Andersen.
Peppy is only nine years old. She is tall, slender and very strong. Her hair is bright red and flames in the sun. Spout small, potatoes, and all covered with freckles.
Brother and Sister Tommy and Annika Settergegen livedopposite the abandoned house, which stood in a neglected garden. They went to school, and then, after doing their homework, they played croquet in their yard. They were very bored, and they dreamed that they had an interesting neighbor. And then their dream came true: at the Villa "Chicken" a red-haired girl who had a monkey named Mr. Nilsson settled. She was brought by a real sea ship. Her mother died a long time ago and looked at her daughter from the sky, and her father, a sea captain, washed away during a storm wave, and he, Peppy thought, became a Negro king on a lost island.
The new girl was walking along the street with her back to the front. Annika and Tommy asked her why she did it. "So they go to Egypt," a strange girl told. And added that in India they generally walk on their hands. But Annika and Tommy did not bother with this lie, because it was a funny invention, and they went to Peppy's house.
Pippi knows how to not only tell, but alsoto act very rapidly and unexpectedly. A circus has arrived in the city - this is a great event. Together with Tommy and Annika, she went to the show. But during the performance she did not sit still. Together with the circus she jumped on the back of a horse racing along the arena, then climbed under the dome of the circus and walked along the rope, she also laid the strongest strongman in the world on the shoulder blades and even threw it several times in the air. About her written in the newspapers, and the whole city found out what an unusual girl lived in it. About this, only thieves who decided to steal it did not know. Badly they had to! And Pippi saved the kids who were on the top floor of the burning house. Many adventures happen to Pippi on the pages of the book. This is only their summary. Pippi Long stocking is the best girl in the world.
In this part of the book Pippi managed to go to school,take part in a school excursion, punish a bully at the fair. This unscrupulous man scattered all his sausages from the old man-seller. But Peppy punished the bully and forced him to pay everything. And in this same part her dear and beloved father returned to her.
Before leaving for the warmer lands of Pippi, the cheeky and respectable gentleman wanted to buy her villa "Chicken" and destroy everything on it.
