Description: 1980s Kids watch Karlsson with a propeller from the times of the USSR, working ,mechanical movement Karlsson with Svante "Lillebror" (little brother) Svanteson on a Russian stamp (1992) Karlsson-on-the-Roof (Swedish: Karlsson på taket) is a character who features in a series of children's books by the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. Lindgren may have borrowed the idea for the series from a similar story about Mr. O'Malley in the comic strip Barnaby (1942) by Crockett Johnson. Karlsson is a very short, plump, and overconfident man who lives in a small house hidden behind a chimney on the roof of "a very ordinary apartment building on a very ordinarystreet" in Vasastan, Stockholm. When Karlsson pushes a button on his stomach, it starts a clever little engine with a propeller on his back, allowing him to fly. In his own opinion, Karlsson is the best at everything. He befriends Svante Svantesson, a seven-year-old boy and youngest member of the Svantesson family, who is often referred to as "Little Brother", Swedish: Lillebror. Karlsson is quite mischievous and likes to make fun and prank others. He often gets Lillebror into trouble, as Karlsson usually disappears just before Lillebror's family arrives leaving him to deal with consequences of Karlsson's actions. At first, parents, siblings and friends of Lillebror don't believe that Karlsson is real, and consider him to be an imaginary friend, but after they meet him in person they begin to like the little flying man. Another character to encounter Karlsson is Fröken Bock (Miss Hildur Bock), a strict nanny who undergoes an emotional transformation after meeting Karlsson.Translated books and cartoon adaptation of the series became popular in the Soviet Union. "Lillebror" has been changed to (Russian: Малыш, romanized: Malysh), which means "Junior" or "Little boy". Other characters' names have not been changed. The two Soviet animated films Junior and Karlson(1968) and Karlson Returns (1970), directed by Boris Stepantsev at Soyuzmultfilm studio are among the most celebrated and loved cartoons in Russia and other formerly Soviet countries.Karlsson was voiced by Vasily Livanov and Junior by Klara Rumyanova in both animated films, while Fröken Bock was voiced by Faina Ranevskaya in the second film. In 1971, the character was also adapted for the Soviet stage at the Moscow Satire Theatre, where Karlsson was portrayed by Spartak Mishulin.
