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.
