Cox's Brownies were little men drawn to represent many professions and nationalities who had mischievous adventures together. This series of humorous verse books and comic strips about kind-hearted pixies soon became incredibly popular and were considered the first commercial comic books, the characters of which were used in advertisements for over 40 companies, including Procter \u0026amp; Gamble and Kodak. In 1889, the Russian children's writer Anna Khvolson wrote \u003ci\u003e The Kingdom of the Little Ones: the Astonishing Adventures of the Forest Lilliputians\u003c\/i\u003e (Tsarstvo malyutok: udivitelnye priklyucheniya lesnykh chelovechkov). This book was followed by four additional editions in Russia and finally was published in Germany in 1920. After the breakthrough, the stories about Muzilka (Cox's Dude), the main character of the adventures, and his friends appeared frequently in periodicals. The last known edition in Russia was in 2002. In \u003ci\u003e The Kingdom of the Little Ones: the Astonishing Adventures of the Forest Lilliputians\u003c\/i\u003e, tiny heroes travel around the world. In the first book, they visit the North Pole and China. In the second, they travel to India, Italy and Switzerland. In the third book, the elves go to Germany, France, England and Holland. Finally, they return home through Germany, Belgium, Austria and Poland. These heroes are endowed with immense curiosity and a passion to discover new and unfamiliar places. In 2014, Julia Shayk, a lawyer, decided to remake the books for her daughter because both versions of Cox and Khvolson needed editing and corrections to compensate for cultural and social changes of the XXth century. She restructured the text of Anna Khvolson to make the story more coherent; then she translated it into English. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWould You Like To Know More? \u003c\/b\u003e Join the adventure  Scroll to the top of the page and select the \u003cb\u003e \"BUY\" \u003c\/b\u003e button.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eSign for FREE EBOOKS at nyc-books.com. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-73079\"\u003ePalmer Cox\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-9351938\"\u003eAnna Khvolson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781507643785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1507643780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC010000\"\u003eFairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends \u0026amp; Mythology\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44572871295213,"sku":"9781507643785","price":12.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_e937943d-057c-49a8-9e5c-442e56d44ed2.jpg?v=1701969348","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/the-kingdom-of-the-elves-astonishing-adventures-around-the-world-complete-series-9781507643785","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
