Pippi, a carrot-haired Swedish girl, once again embarks on a series of pranks, capers, and mischief which add up to one grand adventure for her and her two companions. In this episode, a sequel to Pippi Longstocking, Pippi Goes on Board, Pippi, Tommy and Annika take off on a boat on which Pippi's father is captain and sail to an island on which he is King. Throughout the expedition Pippi manifests her tremendous capacity for humor, imagination, and extraordinary physical strength in a manner which will delight those readers already familiar with her and win for her many ardent new friends.
