About the Author
During her lifetime, Lindgren was awarded dozens of Swedish and international prizes for her writing, among them the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen medal in 1958: widely considered the ultimate accolade for an author of children's books. Astrid Lindgren was born in 1907. Pippi Longstocking was published in Sweden in 1945 and was an instant success with children. She died in 2002. Lauren Child was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2001 for I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato and the Nestle Smarties Gold Award in 2002 for That Pesky Rat. Lauren Child was born in 1967 and grew up in Marlborough in Wiltshire. She now lives in London.
Review
'Lauren Child . . . is the perfect choice to illustrate this handsome, large format edition of Pippi . . . her unmistakable illustrative style helps to bring a modern feel to the book and will enable another generation of readers to enjoy the exploits of this extraordinary little girl.' * Books for Keeps * 'There's no stopping Lauren Child as she brings her own inimitable style to illustrate Pippi Longstocking . . . Everyone will love this.' * The Bookseller * 'Some word and picture partnerships are akin to a marriage made in heaven. First there was EH Shepard and AA Milne, then Quentin Blake and Roald Dahl-now Lauren Child and Astrid Lindgren. If ever there was an illustrator born to understand the psyche and well-loved quirkiness of Pippi Longstocking and infuse it with a 21st-century edge, then Child is that artist.' * Junior * '[Lauren Child's] an inspired choice to hook a new generation of children on Sweden's greatest literary export.' * Susanna Forest, Telegraph Review * 'Lauren Child's . . . version of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking is sublime.' * Amanda Craig, The Times *
