No, her name is actually Pippi Långstrump. The creator was the Swedish (not German!) author Astrid Lindgren. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrid_Lindgren
/Karin from Sweden

Karin:

Yes, I know that she is Swedish. As is Michel aus Lönneberga. My kids watch the stories in German though.

3 Karin July 22, 2010 at 8:17 am: And my American boyfriend and I have been reading Ronia the Robber’s daughter (Ronja Rövardotter) in English and enjoyed it a lot.

Michael is Emil in Swedish.

Pippi on the shirt is the oe who played Pippi in the Swedish movies about her!

Astrid Lindgren and her boks are much beloved in Sweden!

I loved the Pippi books (and movies) as a kid! I’m hoping I can get my son to read them, when he’s older.

Cute photo!

I love that shirt! I’m going to try and find it in an adult size!

Cheers,
Anne

Oh my, I have to know where you found that shirt! (I’d like to say I want to buy one for my daughter, but I kinda want one for myself!)

That’s a great picture! I wonder if I could braid my 4yo’s hair yet…

Happy WW! Come on by and link up

I had forgotten all about Pippi until I saw this. I used to love her. I’ll have to be sure to pick up some books. I have a feeling my kids are still a little young for Pippi, but I’d like to read them again.

I like the double Pippi’s.
