Captain Longstocking

Efraim Longstocking, Pippi’s father, is a sea captain. During one of his voyages, he is swept overboard during a rough storm, and presumed to be lost at sea. His wife died when Pippi was a newborn, so he spent his life taking care of Pippi and traveling the world with her. After being lost at sea, Pippi holds out hope that he is still alive, and believes he made his way to an island inhabited by cannibals, and is now a cannibal king – which makes her very proud of him. He bought Villa Villekulla many years ago, and hoped to live there with Pippi after he retired from traveling the ocean.
