Default 'Pippi Longstocking' author dies

Did you read Pipi's adventures in the States??

Oh I loved Pipi so much!!

Pipi and Jules Vernes were my favorites until 10 years old

I heard the news this morning on the radio. I have fond memories of Fifi brin d'acier, her French name. The television serie was one of my favourite as a child. Anyone recall the name of the horse?

Cool Do souls meet in Hades?

This ancient Greek philosopher, the famous Heracletus, maybe was not so right at the end.

His most favourite quote was that "Souls meet in Hades*"


Well I kind of knew who would react to Pipi

The horse 's name was Horse , as someone whispered to my ear...



* Hades= the Land of Dead, the "other" world
You know ancient Greeks thought that my village in Mani was the Main Gate of Hades

cool...
