I usually preferred other books by Astrid Lindgren (and believe me, I've read them all ;)) to Pippi, so I don't remember those books as well as the others.
I think I read some of those... didn't she write about a group of kids that lived in a village, and were the only children in town? I remember liking them, even if one of the kids DID say "damn it" all the time. I think one of the character's names was "Lotta."
You're mixing two stories up there. Yes, Lotta (from The Children on Troublemaker Street) is the one who used to say "damn it" (but in such an endearing way ;)) ... and "The Children of Noisy Village" are the six children living in a village.
I ♥ all off them, but my favourites are Ronia, the Robber's Daughter (I posted a photo from the film in my lj a few days ago) and The Brothers Lionheart.
