Beyond Pippi Longstocking: Intermedial and International Approaches to Astrid Lindgren's Work by Bettina Kummerling-Meibauer (University of Tubingen, Germany)

Astrid Lindgren, author of the famed Pippi Longstocking novels, is perhaps one of the most significant children's authors of the last half of the twentieth century.

Touching on everything from the Astrid Lindgren theme park at Vimmerby, Sweden to the hidden folk songs in Lindgren's works to the use of nostalgia in film adaptations of Lindgren's novels, this collection offers an important international and intermedial portrait of Lindgren research today.

Beyond Pippi Longstocking Reviews

The essays in this volume demonstrate how Astrid Lindgren defined and continues to resonate with both a specific national identity and the citizenry of the so-called universal republic of childhood. - Karen Coats, Children's Literature Association Quarterly
