3 novellas {{tr|Susan Beard}} Beard translated all three novellas for 2020 Oxford University Press editions (75 years of Pippi). Oxford used the same title for its 2003 collection of the three novellas in earlier UK translations (see). {{BREAK}} The three Beard translations are represented by five ISFDB novellas because they were published also in US editions, where publisher Viking used "Pippi" rather than "Pippi Longstocking" in the titles of the two sequels.

Viking had used "The Adventures" rather than "The Best" for its 1997 collection of the three novellas in earlier US translations. Unknown April 2023: whether a US collection of the Beard translations has been published or is forthcoming.
