Astrid Lindgren

Relates the story about a Swedish troll who protects the farm animals from a hungry fox.

Pippi and her friends, Tommy and Annika, attend the circus where Pippi walks the tightrope and wrestles with the "World's Strongest Man."

"It's bedtime, and across the land everyone is settling down to sleep. The cows are lying down in their fields, the rabbits are snug in their burrows, and the birds are resting on their branches. Except someone isn't quite ready to close their eyes just yet... A curious cat gently wanders through midsummer fields, forests and dusky Swedish landscapes as the sun slowly sets. When will he be ready to sleep?"--

The fantastic girl Pippi, her horse Alphonso, and Mr. Neilson, her monkey, set up housekeeping in Villa Villekulla, making friends with the local children and confounding those who want to get her gold.
