PIPPI LONGSTOCKING

Everyone's favorite irrepressible and independent girl leaps from the speakers as Esther Benson spares no effort to channel the fun and spunk of Pippi. It's refreshing to hear such an unjaded story in today's cynical world. Listen as Pippi takes on the establishment, burglars, and conventional villagers who can't grasp her fearlessness. Strangely, she is never chastised for being who she is. We need more of the Pippi spirit as portrayed here--free, heroic, and uncompromising. A must for all children, and some adults. D.J.B.
