Hello, Hola, Namaste, Salutations oh wonderful people! Hope you’re well and are getting ready to embrace Autumn 🍂🍂🍁🍁 The Corona virus is still dominating the news and our lives but how lucky we are to have roofs over our heads, hot food on our tables, good health on our side and family and friends we love around us. If that want enough, we have books 📕📕📚📚📚📙📙💕💕💕💕 And inevitably, the greatest stories and books are written at times of trouble, pain, heartbreak or ill health. Astrid Lindgren created these stories for her daughter Karin who asked her for a get-well soon story when she was off school :-) Karin named this fiesty little girl Pippi who is 9 years old and lives all by herself with a horse, a monkey, a suitcase full of gold and no grown ups to tell her what to do and she is stronger than anyone else you will ever know !!💕💕 The first book ‘Pippi Longstocking’ was published in 1945 followed by ‘Pippi goes on board’ and ‘Pippi in the South Seas. I’m going to read ‘The Best of Pippi Longstocking’, an 11 chapter book which has stories from all the books above and start off reading a couple of chapters from the first book. If you haven’t read Pippi before, I just know you’ll love her free spirit, sense of humour and incredible fearlessness. If you already know her, you’ll just find yourself admiring and adoring her a teeny weeny bit more 💕💕💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💥💥 Enjoy the stories and let me know what you think !! Stay safe, stay happy and keep reading!! 💕💕📚📚🍁🍂🌈 toodles xx
