The children grow and grow, and the Wooden Man named Pinocchio, who does not burn in fire and does not drown in water, continues his run in search of the golden key. He is just as cheerful and mischievous. Forty years after the publication of A. N. Tolstoy’s book “The Golden Key,” it still beckoned. The children dreamed of new adventures of Pinocchio and his friends, of the joy of new communication with their favorite fairy tale characters. And they wanted the story of Pinocchio to have a continuation! In 1975, Alexander Vladimirovich Kumma and Sacco Vasilyevich Runge published the book “The Second Secret of the Golden Key.” This is an independent, witty in concept, original work. Our old friend Pinocchio - the sharp-nosed Wooden Man - has not aged, matured, or changed over the years, but remains the same inventor, cheerful and resourceful. “By contrasting gold with a piece of wood, the fairy tale inspires everyone new generation the undoubted truth that the real treasure is the golden human heart, in which friendship, loyalty, hope and courage live.” Source: tu003d3978103The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program.
