Synopsis:

Made from a piece of pine by a woodcarver named Geppetto, Pinocchio was created as a wooden puppet. But he dreams of becoming a real boy--if only he can overcome his weaknesses and learn to care about others. Much more than a children's story, Pinocchio is a fable of the archetypal quest for all that is meaningful in life. Newly designed and typeset in a 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

About the Author:

Carlo Collodi is the pen name of Italian author Carlo Lorenzini, creator of the beloved children s character, Pinocchio. A Tuscan who fought in Italy s wars of unification, Collodi was already a famous novelist and popular translator of French fairy tales when he began to contribute chapters in the life of a marionette to Italy s first newspaper for children, Il Giornale per i Bambini. The adventures of the disobedient puppet were an immediate success and Pinocchio s story has been translated and adapted numerous times, including the classic 1940 animated production from Walt Disney. Collodi died in 1890.
