Alexey Tolstoy, a Soviet writer, from childhood loved the Italian fairy tale Carlo Collodi “The Adventures of Pinocchio. The story of a wooden doll. " He rewrote it in his own way, and each child knew what adventures Pinocchio had experienced, what was the name of the poodle Malvina and who is Pierrot.

In 1934, the writer decided to translate his favorite story into Russian and adapt it to the domestic reader. But in the course of work, Tolstoy became so carried away that a new, original idea appeared in the main plot of the text.
