Publisher's Synopsis
Pinocchio, Carlo Collodi's masterpiece, is the most widely read and best-loved children's story in the world. The adventures of the disobedient but golden-hearted puppet who dreams of becoming a boy have entered the collective imagination, as have many of the other characters born from the pen and genius of the Tuscan author: Jiminy Cricket, the Fox and the Cat, the Blue Fairy and the fearsome Fire-eater. The imaginative invention and genial narrative solutions have inspired full-length movies and shorts, songs and musicals. This book, an adaptation of the original text, is enriched by the dreamlike illustrations of Manuela Adreani.
