Murzilka

Curiously, Murzilka traces its history already since 1879, when a Canadian artist and poet Palmer Cox (Palmer Cox) has created a cycle of poems with their illustrations about the little people "brownie» (Brownie) - small men, relatives of house, with brown hair nechёsanymi ( for which they have been named "Brownie»).



Appearing for the first time in the magazine «Wide Awake», they began a triumphal procession, first in America and then around the world. In Russia, they were due to the famous writer Anne Chwolson, which made a free translation of texts Cox, giving the names of the other characters. Thus was born the name Murzilka.



In 1913 a book was published in Russian Chwolson "New Murzilka. Amazing adventures and wandering young men forest "where the main character was Murzilka - man in a frock coat, with a cane and monocle. These tales have been very popular, but after the 1917 revolution, the book is no longer published, and this forgotten hero.
Again on Murzilka recalled in 1924, when the Workers' Newspaper "to create a new children's magazine, and this name will appeal to all. But do not put on the cover of the Soviet magazine brownie! Therefore Murzilki became red purebred puppy who accompanied his master everywhere - boys Petka.



But this did not last long Murzilka, and in 1937 a new version.
