    "‘The antithesis to Nazi ideology’: how Pippi Longstocking was born to stand up to Hitler

    A new documentary explores how Astrid Lindgren’s beloved children’s books about the pigtailed free spirit were written in response to the darkest days of the second world war.

    She’s the mischievous little red-haired Swedish girl with the pigtails. Since 1945, this waif with no mother or father has rarely been out of the bestseller lists and continues to inspire musicals and movies. Heyday Films, the outfit behind Paddington and James Bond, is now developing an English-language adaptation of her stories.

    What isn’t generally known outside her native Sweden are the circumstances in which author Astrid Lindgren created Pippi during the darkest period of the second world war, under the shadow of Hitler and Stalin.

    'After I have worked so many years making the film, I am totally clear that Pippi is a child of the war. She never would have existed if there were not these terrible times,' Wilfried Hauke, the veteran German director behind new docudrama *A World Gone Mad – The War Diaries of Astrid Lindgren* (which will have its international premiere early next year) tells me.

    His film features three generations of the Lindgren family – the author’s daughter, Karin Nyman, granddaughter, Annika Lindgren, and great-grandson, Johan Palmberg. It also has reconstructions in which leading Swedish stage actor Sofia Pekkari plays the author but her executors have made sure that every word she utters is taken exactly from what Lindgren actually wrote or said."

  7. CBC: Mamma mia! Contested Swedish cultural heritage list includes IKEA — but not ABBA. “Pippi Longstocking, IKEA and the Nobel Prize are among 100 works, brands and ideas deemed to define what it means to be Swedish, according to a cultural heritage list presented to the government on Tuesday. But one of the country’s most notable exports was snubbed — the legendary pop group ABBA.”

  9. Got reacquainted with Pippi Longstocking for the first time in almost 20 years.
    That series is turning 80, and is now translated into 80 languages.

    Wild to think that the stories we remember fondly as kids, are always there to go back to as adults, right there, right under the surface.
