Take a trip to Sweden while you read this classic book, a favorite for many years. Pippi is the most unusual girl you'll ever meet! Pippi lives without parents, but with her horse, her monkey Mr. Nilsson, and a trunk of gold coins. Pippi is also the strongest girl in the world. Laugh and be amazed at the exploits of Pippi and her friends while she creates chaos at school and at the circus, foils robbers intent on stealing her gold, but also saves some children from a fire. Helen Keller visited Sweden in 1957 as part of a tour that included the countries of Iceland, Norway, Finland, and Denmark, as she visited services for people who were blind. | |
