On Christmas Eve, Pelle, Bosse and Inga are alone, with no presents or dinner. Pippi arrives with a decorated tree, a sack of sweets and gifts, and suggests dancing with the tree instead of around it, because it wants to have fun too. The evening becomes the merriest Christmas they have ever had.
It belongs to the Pippi Långstrump series. Includes illustrations by Katrin Engelking; the text was discovered in 2002 and this German edition was published in 2014.
Recommended for children aged 3 and up, especially as Christmas reading in German.
Astrid Anna Emilia Lindgren was a Swedish writer of fiction and screenplays. She is most notable for several children's book series, featuring Pippi Longstocking, Emil of Lönneberga, Karlsson-on-the-Roof, and The Six Bullerby Children, and for the children's fantasy novels Mio, My Son; Ronia the Robber's Daughter; and The Brothers Lionheart. Lindgren worked on the Children's Literature Editorial Board at the Rabén & Sjögren publishing house in Stockholm and wrote more than 30 books for children. In 2017, she was calculated to be the world's 18th most translated author. Lindgren had by 2010 sold roughly 167 million books worldwide. In 1994, she was awarded the Right Livelihood Award for "her unique authorship dedicated to the rights of children and respect for their individuality". Her campaigning for animal welfare led to a new law, Lex Lindgren, in time for her 80th birthday.
