The author of the image of Rudolf, Robert Lewis May, held a copywriter in the Chicago trading company Montgomery Wards. In 1937, when a traditional Christmas party was prepared for network workers, Mai created several texts of fun Christmas songs. The guests rated the work of a creative copywriter, and the next year Robert secured the success of a number of new humorous compositions. Then the bosses offered the author to write a fairy tale for children - the book was planned to give to the kids for free within the framework of the Christmas sales arranged by the company.
As the main character of the fabulous history of May chose a deer. The image was close and understood by the kids, since by the time of deer, the lucky Santa Claus sleeves were popular in the West the characters of Christmas essays. And the source of inspiration, the plot reference point of the Copywriter from the fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen "Zadky Duckling". Robert wished to create a story about a small hero, whom tribesmen are constantly teased for being different from them outwardly. But it is precisely this difference in the end turns out to be the main advantage of the character.
Repeatedly changed the name of the Olenenka. At first the author wanted to name the Hero Roll, then Reginald. The final choice of copywriter did in favor of the Rudolph named. As a writer's idea, a small assistant Santa was supposed to have a feature of appearance, which distinguishes the image from other deer. It was planned to reward the hero with shining eyes that would cover the path of Santa Claus. But this trait destroyed the concept of a fairy tale - from the character, over which everyone laughs, the deer immediately turned into a superhero.
Therefore, as a result, the red nose of Rudolph was made. Children of the writer acted as the first listeners of fabulous narration. Robert read the kids text, correcting the details depending on how the young public reacted to the heard. Work on the text was already over when there was a problem - the bosses considered that the Red Hero would be associated with those who love to drink.
To solve this problem, Mei suggested a friend to the artist, Denwar Delena, create several pictures with a description of the deer. Visualization of a cute image of a deer prompted the authorities to change the decision, and the book went into print. At the end of 1946, Robert received copyright on the Hero created - before this right belonged to the Montgomery Wards trading network. The writer wrote the continuation of the fabulous history of Rudolf, and also released a line of goods with a red-skinned character.
In the late 40s, a plate appeared on the light with the text of the loved public of the fairy tale May. In the same year, the music version was created by the composer John Marx on the same year. Musical version was created by composer John Marx. The first performer of the composition was the singer Gin Otri. The song was awaited success - after the release, an essay of 3 years in a row was on top of American Christmas charts. In 1958, Marx came up with another composition about the Krasnonos Assistant Santa, which was then performed by Chuck Berry.
