Pippi Longstocking on the stage

Pippi Longstocking becomes a ballet. I read several of Astrid Lindgren's books as a child, and remember Pippi as a fun and strong character in several novels. It's amusing to read how she inspired fear in the establishment as an independent-minded child, and now is lauded as a hero of female liberation.

Strange to hear of Pippy as a hero of something-I-don't-remember. I remember the book about Pippy it was relly fun and I hope every child reads this. But I'm no fan of ballets, especially about Pippy.
