The Incredible Adventures of Buratino

Pinocchio is a wooden puppet with a golden key—he remains a favorite hero of many children to this day. Restless and disobedient, curious but absolutely not evil, this boy becomes the central figure in a small world of puppets whose lives under the cruel rule of Карабас Барабас are anything but easy. But Pinocchio can help them—his heckling temperament is precisely what allows the events to develop further in an unpredictable and wonderful way…
Other characters also deserve attention. The beauty Malvina, with blue hair, though a bit too proper—after all, she is a real good girl. The whiner and eternal melancholic Pierrot, against whom Pinocchio looks like a true hero. A devoted friend Artemon—fearless and loyal, just the way a real dog should be…
In A. Tolstoy’s book, the basic rules of behavior for children are set out in fairy-tale form. You must not leave home alone, you must not talk to strangers in the street, you shouldn’t make friends with dubious people, and so on.
One day, children will grow up and learn that there is also “Pinocchio”—that Pinocchio is only the Russian version of a wonderful fairy tale; but for now they will simply happily listen to this amusing adventure book, catching every line in it and rejoicing in the victories of the little human.
