Carlo Collodi's original story of Pinocchio follows the exploits and misadventures of a prankster puppet, whose rebellious and free-wheeling nature ironically lands him under the control of others. Full of boisterous comic wit, ranging from blunt slapstick to sly satire, as well as spiritual discovery in the face of a violent world, "The Adventures of Pinocchio" has earned its place as a world classic of children's literature. Søren Filipski's translation presents Collodi's tale in an entertaining, modern voice, introducing its timeless themes to a new generation of young readers. This edition includes over sixty restored illustrations by Carlo Chiostri, from the famous 1902 edition.
