In this book we are there when Pippi buys eighteen kilos of sweets, goes to the fairground and tames boa constrictors and villains, and is shipwrecked on a desert island with Thomas and Annika for two days. One day Captain Longstocking lays in the harbor with his hoppet and wants to take Pippi to his South Sea island, where he was washed ashore after falling overboard in a storm.Translator: Cecilia Heinig
