I really enjoy those 60s-70s dravings of her, and Inger Nilsson as Peppi in that 70s tv show. Peppi is a great role model and those books really are funny. Of course there is racism and stuff, but I can almost accept that because the books are from 40s Sweden. I also like her style, those short dresses and suspenders with colorful stockings. And the mens shoes. I've been rocking that hairdo almost every day recently; just making two braids to my orange dreads and that's it...
I remember the day Astrid Lindgren died in 2002, I wrote a 'thank you' -letter for her and let the wind carry it.
There are some modern Pippis, too (I don't really like them):
I also really like Ronja. Actually as a child I loved that book way more than Pippis. She was such a an independent little girl, too.
