Revue de presse :
'Pippi is in the great tradition of children's protagonists who subvert the adult world, whether by questioning it, like Alice, or simply throwing it into chaos, like Dr Seuss's Cat in the Hat.' (Guardian)
'Generations of children have grown up loving these wonderful stories about the invincible girl with the unforgettable name.' (Manchester Evening News)
