"He is still called the Little Man, and he still sleeps in a matchbox. Although you already know that his real name is Max Pichelstainer, or simply Max, and that he is a real circus star. One fine day, the great magician Jocus von Pocus spotted an extraordinary talent in the boy—and together they became famous, overcoming countless trials! Their success story turned out to be worthy of a film. And filming is about to begin, with Max himself in the leading role. Few people can speak to children in the same language as easily, openly, and without being preachy as Erich Kästner. Perhaps that is why the writer was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Award Gold Medal in 1960. ""The Boy and the Girl from the Matchbox"", the continuation of the wonderful story about Max, is finally being released in Russia"
