This
is the house of Pippi Langstrømpe (Pippi "Long Stocking") - a very
popular figure in the novels of the Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren. A theme
park in Vimmerby in Sweden is dedicated to fairy-tale life of her novels,
and in the high season many of the figures are made "live" by amateur actors,
who mix with the audience and improvise some of the sketches and fairy
tales. |
