K.I.Tchukovsky (1882-1969; real name -N.V.Korneychukov) was a writer, a literature critic, an interpreter and Doctor of Philology. The stamps feature the characters from his books " Moidodyr", "Tarakanishche" (1923, both tales), "Muha-Tsokotuha" (1924, entitled "Muha's Wedding"), "Barmalei" (1925), "Aybolit" (1929, entitled "The Adventures of Aybolit"). The tales are nice and witty, that is why children like them so much.
