Features: Emil is a grumpy little boy who lives in R?da. He loves to defy his parents and turn his home into a mess. He might have stayed this way forever if it weren’t for the day he grew up. Emil of R?da has round blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and curly light hair, which gives the impression of being obedient. But he is, without a doubt, a little troublemaker! Emil is so mischievous that he hoists his younger sister as a flag to the top of the flagpole, smears pig blood on his father’s head, and puts frogs into the coffee delivery basket; he is so brave that he helps the lady with a long beard catch the local rogue "Sparrow"; he is so just that he prepares a lavish Christmas dinner for the elderly and lonely, and punishes the wolfish poorhouse matron. Oh, he is also a kind angel, caring for a poor little pig about to die as if it were his mother. Emil is Emil, always wearing "cat" and carrying "wall," causing trouble all year round, but always the joy of children.
