Pippi Longstocking Paper Doll

November 14th 2007 was the centenary of the birth of Astrid Lindgren, author of popular children's bokk character Pippi Longstocking. Pippi, and her creator Astrid, are respected and love throughout the world but nowhere as much as in Sweden, their birth place. There you'll find a whole theme park devoted to Astrid and characters from her book, Astrid Lindgren World, located in Vimmerby in south-east Sweden.

The Astrid Lindren World web site has this cute Pippi Longstocking paper doll available in color and black & white. Click on "For children" to find them or go directly to this page. The set includes three pages of clothes for Pippi and her faithful friend, Mr. Nilsson the monkey!
