His work includes several of the most popular children's books of all time, selling over 600 million copies and being translated into more than 20 languages by the time of his death. - Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky (31 March NS 1882 28 October 1969) was one of the most popular children's poets in the Russian language. His catchy rhythms, inventive rhymes and absurd characters have invited comparisons with the American children's author Dr. Seuss. Chukovsky's poems "Tarakanishche" ("The Monster Cockroach"), "Krokodil" ("The Crocodile"), "Telefon" ("The Telephone") and "Moydodyr" ("Wash-'em-Clean") have been favourites with many generations of Russophone children. Lines from his poems, in particular "Telefon", have become universal catch-phrases in the Russian media and everyday conversation. He adapted the Doctor Dolittle stories into a book-length Russian poem as "Doktor Aybolit" ("Dr. Ow-It-Hurts"), and translated a substantial portion of the Mother Goose canon into Russian as "Angliyskiye Narodnyye Pesenki" ("English Folk Rhymes"). He was also an influential literary critic and essayist. - The figure of Mother Goose is the imaginary author of a collection of fairy tales and nursery rhymes often published as "(Old) Mother Goose's Rhymes". As a character, she appears in one nursery rhyme. A Christmas pantomime called "Mother Goose" is often performed in the United Kingdom. The so-called "Mother Goose" rhymes and stories have formed the basis for many classic British pantomimes. Mother Goose is generally depicted in literature and book illustration as an elderly country woman in a tall hat and shawl, a costume identical to the peasant costume worn in Wales in the early 20th century, but is sometimes depicted as a goose (usually wearing a bonnet).
