An absolute delight! I enjoyed Pippi‘s exuberance as much now as I did as a child. I wouldn‘t want to BE Pippi, but I‘d love to have a friend like her!

The garden was fenced with stones on two sides, but in front there was an open fence, through which the flowers shone with answering gladness, as the four united people came within sight of them.
“O father,” said Eppie, what a pretty home ours is! I think nobody could be happier than we are.”

Hey y‘all, I deleted the first post, since it became quickly obvious that with different copies, we could never go by pages! So we will read a part per week, and discuss on Friday each week. It one of makes me sad 🤣 it will feel weird not to post every day, but we will be back to normal next month! #hashtagbrigade

Finished last night for #ChildrensClassicRead2024 It was fun to reread Pippi, it‘s been decades & the books & movies were something I shared with my dad. As a child I wanted to hang out with Pippi, as an adult, she tired me out! 😉 I need to see if I can find the movies now.
You...kicked it? Well, what is the process of scientific discovery but 'fuck around and find out' by another name?! 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️

So fun to revisit Pippi! This is the edition I had as a child.
I read the 2020 translation in ebook and found some differences from mine. Pippi refers to “fly poop“ -- I was positive I had never seen that, and indeed it was “fly speck“ back in the day.
And while in the old translation, Pippi ate a “rosy mushroom,“ in the new one it's a “beautiful red death cap toadstool.“ I'm not sure which I find more appalling! 😂
