Pippi Longstocking
Pippi Longstocking is a fictional character created by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren—a red-haired, freckled girl of superhuman strength who lives alone with a monkey and a horse, answering to no adults.
The name evokes cheerful independence and childlike defiance of convention: She's a real Pippi Longstocking, that one.
