Pippi Longstocking (Swedish Pippi Långstrump) is the protagonist in the eponymous series of children's books by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. Pippi was named by Lindgren's then nine-year-old daughter, Karin, who requested a get-well story from her mother one day when she was home sick from school.
