Thinking that Lúcia was a monster, the bug left, but the fish (dressed in suit and tie), stood, and introduced himself as the Scaly Prince from the Clear Waters Kingdom. The two of them were flung afar after Lúcia sneezed because of their presence.Įmília, illustrated by artist Manoel Victor Filho. Some day, while at the creek of a nearby stream, Lucia fell asleep and was supposedly (as the narrative initially suggests the girl could be dreaming) awaken by a tiny fish and his friend, a cockchafer, while they talked to each other on her upturned nose.

History Įmília is a rag doll described as 'clumsy' or 'ugly', resembling a 'witch' that was handmade by Aunt Nastácia, the ranch's cook, for the little girl Lúcia, also known as 'Little Nose'. Since 1951, Emília has been adapted to stage plays, theatrical films and television series, portrayed by several actresses (eleven altogether) throughout the decades in Brazil. Even though, Lobato has stated that Emília is 'sometimes so independent that neither I, nor her father, succeed in controlling her'. A doll with a rough, antagonistic personality and an independent, anarchist behaviour, Emília is Lobato's most popular creation alongside Jeca Tatu and, according to studies and analyses of his work, she is his personification in the stories and that, towards the character, Lobato expresses his own ideas.
