Most Beloved Sister (1949) by the late Pippi Longstocking author Astrid Lindgren, trans. by Elizabeth Kallick Dyssegaard, is the nickname given to the heroine by her imaginary ""twin sister."" The author gives credence to this common childhood companion, while Hans Arnold's illustrations, added in 1973, create a lush world filled with magical inhabitants. (Apr.)
