Question

character sketch of pippi

Answer 1

Pippi Longstocking is a nine-year-old girl living on her own because her mother died when she was just a baby and her father, a ship's captain, fell overboard on their most recent sea journey. With that beginning, you might expect her to have a tragic existence—to be poor, destitute, and malnourished, taken advantage of by society's less honorable members. But Pippi's existence is precisely the opposite.
