Synopsis
Beloved tale of the adventures of a puppet, carved from a stick of wood, who eventually becomes a real boy after many trials and tribulations. Though urged to right behavior by his father Gepetto, the Talking-cricket, and the Blue Fairy, Pinocchio yields to temptations that land him in desperate straits. Yet, time after time, he is rescued, sometimes by a stroke of luck and other times by someone he had befriended previously. Pinocchio's indomitable spirit shines throughout, lending humor and playfulness to whatever situation he finds himself in, whether that is planting his money in the Field of Miracles, sharing the humiliation of growing donkey ears with his good friend Candlewick, or discovering his father at long last in the belly of the Dog-fish. All the while Pinocchio is growing in goodness and at last becomes a real little boy with a loving heart, a dutiful son to a devoted father. This edition couples the first translation from the Italian into English by M. A. Murray with dozens of engaging illustrations. Suitable for ages 6 and up.

A title in their Children's Illustrated Classics Series. Original translation by M A Murray. Revised by G Tassinari. This book was originally published in Italian in 1883. The Italian author, Carlo Lorenzini, took his pen name from his native village of Collodi in Italy where a table has been put up in his memory. Born in 1826 he not only wrote stories but worked hard for the cause of education. Collodi's puppet show has all the two-sided attraction of the traditional puppet booth, for in laughing at his Talking Cricket and the sufferings of Pinocchio for his wooden head, we find in the end that we have been partly laughing at ourselves and are the wiser for it. The jacket will be covered with an archival quality, inert removable protective sleeve. Demy 8vo 8¾" x 5½" [22.2cm x 13.9cm] approx. 214pp. Seller Inventory # YR3AUG003
