Pippi Longstocking is the main character of the fairy tale with the same title as her name. Pippi is nine years old, with carrot-red hair braided into two frizzing pigtails and lots of freckles. She wears a cropped, patched dress, droopy stockings and much too big black shoes. She lives all alone, with only her monkey Mr. Nilsson and a horse, in Villa Smiley in a small town - her mother is dead and her father, Captain Stocking, is sailing at sea.
