One morning when Tommy and Annika come popping into Pippi's kitchen as usual, Pippi is sitting in the middle of the kitchen table and smiling. It was she and no one else who has come up with a wildly leaping new word. An excellent good word! One of the best she's heard! The word is snirkle! The chapter Pippi finds a snirkle, from Pippi Longstocking in the South Sea, has become a picture book. The text is reproduced in its entirety with Ingrid Vang Nyman's pictures, for this edition restored and colored by Björn Hedlund.
