Astrid Lindgren

In this first book-length study intended for American readers of the Swedish author - and the first to compare story line, character development, and narrative style in the original Swedish and in English translation - Eva-Maria Metcalf offers up not only a lighthearted appreciation of the single-minded Pippi and the other quirky heroes and heroines that populate Lindgren's books but also a serious assessment of Lindgren's thematic concerns, especially her profound commitment to children's rights. Lindgren, also known for her activism in animal rights (Sweden's most recent animal protection legislation was named for her), holds the interests of society's less powerful at heart; like Pippi, she rarely misses an opportunity to challenge the authority of a foolhardy adult or to question a wrongheaded social or moral convention.
