I remember the Pippi books as better than this. And I don't think it's a matter of bad translation, either. This volume is written as if it were meant to be told aloud. Then the repetitions, which jar in the print version, would be less glaring.
Pippi is not exactly irresponsible. She's just very...

The Children on Troublemaker Street
| Author | Astrid Lindgren |
| ISBN | 0689846746 |
I enjoyed this book, first published in 1958, even more than I did Lotta on Troublemaker Street, published in 1961.
