Pippi stories are being launched in a new format in the form of an audio drama with "captivating sound effects and jazz music", according to the creators. The initiative is a collaboration between the publisher Saga Egmont and the book streaming service Nextory.

The audio drama is said to renew the way of storytelling. At the same time, they want to awaken children's imagination, Nextory states in a press release.

During the Culture Festival in Stockholm on August 13-17, the public is also invited to a Pippi area where the audio dramas can be experienced on site.

The audio dramas can be listened to from August 11.
