Pippi in the South Seas

Pippi in the South Seas by Astrid Lindgren, translated by Gerry Bothmer

A city slicker sees a sign for Villa Villekulla and thinks it must be a house for sale. He wants to buy it and rid it of the children there. Alas, he discovers that Pippi is in fact the owner. Later Pippi's father returns and they get to go on an adventure ot the south seas. They met some friends, but also run into people that want to steal from them. Alas, things never turn out well for thieves with Pippi. In this book most of the community accepts Pippi for her uniqueness, but others in the world are still discovering her charm. It is a fairly good extension, but not as rich as the original.
