What would Pippi Longstocking do?

Eclectic music from blues to beats, celebrating 75 years of Pippi Longstocking and an all-star cast, from Iggy Pop to Tilda Swinton, read from The Rime of The Ancient Mariner.

Eclectic music from blues to beats, featuring musical treats from Cornershop, Ann Peebles, Falle Nioke & Ghost Culture, Bob Dylan, Dzambo Agusevi Orchestra, John Lee Hooker, Marvin Gaye and Nick Hakim. Cerys also remembers American soul powerhouse Betty Wright.

An all-star line-up from Iggy Pop to Tilda Swinton and Willem Defoe to Alan Bennett read extracts reflecting Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s 18th century epic poem 'The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner' as part of a new immersive work of audio and visual art for The Big Read.

Ahead of this Thursday, which marks the 75th anniversary of the first Pippi Longstocking book, Cerys hears from Johan Palmberg, Rights Manager at The Astrid Lindgren Company and great grandson of author Astrid Lindgren telling us about the creator of the Pippi Longstocking character and her adventures
