Pippi Longstocking

“Pippi Calzaslargas” by Astrid Lindgren, published in Spanish by Editorial Kókinos, brings one of the most iconic heroines of children’s literature to new generations. In this hardback edition (144 pages), young readers from about 7–8 years old can dive into the unforgettable adventures of the strongest, freest girl in the world.

Pippi lives alone in the colourful Villa Villekulla with only her horse and her little monkey, Señor Nilsson, for company. She owns a suitcase full of gold coins, so she can buy all the sweets and toys she wants – and more importantly, she can decide for herself what to do with her life. When she befriends her neighbours Tommy and Annika, their quiet, well-behaved world is turned upside down by Pippi’s wild imagination, physical strength and sense of justice. 

The book combines humour, fantasy and everyday situations in a way that feels fresh even today. Pippi lifts horses, plays pranks on pompous adults, outsmarts bullies and refuses to obey unfair rules. At the same time, she is generous, loyal and deeply kind. Her independence, confidence and refusal to accept injustice have made her a reference point for free-spirited and non-conformist childhood for decades around the world. 

This Kókinos edition keeps the charm of the original 1945 story while offering a modern, careful translation into Spanish. It is ideal for:

• Children starting to read chapter books on their own

• Shared reading aloud at home or in the classroom

• Families looking for strong, unconventional female characters

• Anyone who wants to revisit a great classic from their own childhood

“Pippi Calzaslargas” is more than a funny story: it invites children to trust themselves, question what seems “normal” and defend those who cannot defend themselves. Add this timeless classic to your bookshelf and let Pippi bring laughter, courage and a little bit of chaos into your home.
