But the real name of the writer is Nikolai Korneichukov, and Korney Chukovsky is a literary pseudonym. He was born in St. Petersburg in 1882 on March 19 (31).

Korey Ivanovich began his creative activity in the newspaper "Odessa News", for which he wrote articles. Then he married Maria Borisovna Goldfeld and together with her in 1903 left for London as a correspondent for "Odessa News".
Chukovsky independently learned English from a self-instruction manual, was the only English-speaking in the publishing house, so he was sent to work in London. The reporter was promised a lot of money for those times - 100 rubles a month. This trip contributed to the further development of the writer, because here he was able to read the books of English writers in the original Chukovsky, the biography of the writer was replenished by the fact that he studied the works of Thackeray and Dickens.
But upon his arrival in Odessa at the end of 1904, even more global events awaited him - the 1905 revolution.
Korey Ivanovich seriously took up criticism and after the 1917 revolution published two books - about Mayakovsky and Akhmatova, about Blok. At the same time, he began a long-term work about Nekrasov, his favorite poet. And in 1908 he published works about Chekhov, Blok, Balmont, Bryusov, Kuprin, Sergeev-Tsensky, Artsybashev, Gorky, Merezhkovsky, etc.
Root Ivanovich Chukovsky wrote his first fairy tale "Crocodile" in 1916. And "Cockroach" and "Moidodyr" published in 1923. A year later, a poetic work for children "Barmaley" was published.

At first he was told not to write the words "God", "Jews" in the book. Korney Ivanovich replaced the word "God" with "The Magician of Yahweh".
The book was printed, but did not see the light of day, since the entire circulation of the authorities destroyed. This is what Chukovsky went through, whose biography is full of drama. After all, he lost his beloved daughter Masha, who died in childhood. The writer often mentions her in his works, calling her Murochka.
In addition to her, the poet had a daughter, Lydia, who also became a writer. Son - translator and prose writer - Nikolai and son Boris, who died during the Great Patriotic War.
Streets were named in memory of the great writer, monuments were erected to him and the heroes of his works in different cities. An asteroid is named in honor of "Chukocolla".

The wings are created in the same way as described above, but there is a braid trim along the edge. It remains to put on the girl white tights, black lacquered dolls, and the character's image is created.
With the help of a fishing line, you can create amazing outfits, including the Tsokotukha fly costume.

It is overcast around the edges with an overlock, it is smoothed, and ruffles are obtained.
It remains to supplement them with wings. Enlarge the next template or transfer it to large-sized paper.
