One of my favourite children’s books growing up was Pippi Longstocking…the little girl who lived in a house by herself and didn’t have anyone to tell her what to do. It was a such a great surprise to see this cosplay at Ottawa Comic Con 2019.

Pippi Longstocking’s House
Sweden is the last place I would think of to look for the house that Pippi Longstocking lived in.
However, Vimmerby, Sweden is exactly where you’ll find this replica of the author’s drawing of Pippi’s house, complete with lopsided shutters and balcony railing.
Astrid Lindgren’s World is a theme park open in the summer (May to August) dedicated to the stories by the author. Pippi’s house, Villa Vallekulla, is the star attraction.
