The little gold key or the adventures of Burattino

Tolstoy's version brings new life to Buratino's story, but I wonder what motivated the creative choices behind this particular retelling.

His playful nature made the story so engaging, but I was curious whether this balance was intentional or just a natural part of the character.

The fantasy aspects add excitement, but I’m curious if they also serve a deeper purpose in teaching lessons about honesty and bravery.
