AND I RESPOND:
Ms. Lindgren's famous character was known as Pippi Longstocking in the U.S.
(I'm guessing that "Longstocking" is a literal translation of "Langkous",
eh?) She wasn't just read by little girls over here in my boyhood days,
either. I read all the PIPPI books myself at least once, and lots of my
male friends did the same. Of course, that was back when Americans actually
read comics and books.
