criticism and opportunities

The original reception of the Pippi stories was characterized by a positive perception. Readers describe the books as "worth reading" and entertaining.

Some concerned contemporaries expressed concerns about the exemplary function of Pippi and the transition from reality to imagination. In the past few decades, society has increasingly leveled up on Pippi's positive energy and independence.
