Children's literature classic Nikolai Nosov's 'The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends' was first published in 1954 and marked the beginning of a trilogy about the cheerful and mischievous children from Flower Town. The story's protagonist, Dunno, possesses the most contradictory qualities, but at heart he is kind and willing to do good deeds. He is quick-witted and courageous, and also very charming. It's no wonder this short man in a wide-brimmed blue hat is so beloved by young readers.
