Astrid Lindgren (1902–2002) was the creator of one of Sweden's most iconic fictional characters, Pippi Longstocking. The Pippi books have been translated into more than sixty languages. Ingrid Vang Nyman (1916–1959) was a noted children's book illustrator, as well as the original illustrator of the Pippi chapter books.
In this second volume (Pippi Moves In, 2012), Drawn & Quarterly continues to bring vintage Pippi comics, originally published in Sweden in the 1950s, to American audiences. Vang Nyman’s large-format panels, in bright, bold primary colors, are the perfect match for Lindgren’s bombastic Pippi, who rescues children from burning buildings, defeats a pair of daft burglars, and competes in feats of strength with her father (she wins, of course). Though there is not much continuity among each of the stories, there is some tension when Pippi gets the chance to go to sea with her father, but at the last minute, prompted by her friends’ sadness, she decides to stay in Villa Villekulla after all. Pippi’s best quality is her free-spirited innocence, and each four-page story perfectly captures those flighty, wide-eyed, and imaginative attributes, from Pippi’s inability to behave at a tea party right down to her mismatched, slouchy socks. Fans of the books will recognize the familiar Pippi stories and love this new glimpse into an old favorite. Grades K-2. --Sarah Hunter
