Title: Astrid Lindgren
First published: 1995
Description: 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.
