Pinocchio is the classic story of the little wooden puppet who longs to become a human boy and strives to achieve his ambition.
Pinocchio is a delightful character who is full of both humour and pathos. He has the unfortunate characteristic that every time he lies or does something naughty – which he does frequently – his nose grows longer and longer. Pinocchio and his maker, the poor woodcarver Geppetto, have a touching father-son relationship full of love and tenderness.
Fulvio Testa’s illustrations capture the jaunty tone of the story as well as bringing the interesting cast of characters to life.
So simple that any child can understand it, yet so richly meaningful that adults also appreciate it, the story of the wooden puppet who longed to be a real boy has captured hearts around the world. Readers of all ages will be enchanted by this beautifully illustrated edition of the timeless tale of a naughty marionette's struggles to behave himself in a world of temptation and adventure.
