  • Pinocchio

    Carlo Collodi, Alice Carsey

    Hardcover (Everyman's Library, Sept. 6, 2011)
    The original, unabridged Pinocchio in a beautifully illustrated hardcover edition.Carlo Collodi’s 1883 story is an astonishing work of fantasy, even richer and more wildly imaginative than the famous film that Disney made of it. The Everyman’s edition—the only one in hardcover—brings back the color-illustrated translation of 1916 that captures the vivid inventiveness of Collodi’s original. Here is the endearing wooden puppet, always dreaming of becoming a boy and always tumbling into trouble: kidnapped, robbed by a cat and a fox, turned into a donkey, escaping from an enormous smoking serpent and a green-skinned ogre, rescuing his father from the belly of a mile-long fish, haunted by the ghost of a talking cricket, watched over by a fairy with turquoise hair, and, time and again, betrayed by his lie-sensitive nose.

  • Pinocchio: The Tale of a Puppet

    Carlo Collodi, Alice Carsey

    language (, March 4, 2013)
    Though one of the best-known books in the world, Pinocchio at the same time remains unknown—linked in many minds to the Walt Disney movie that bears little relation to Carlo Collodi’s splendid original. That story is of course about a puppet who, after many trials, succeeds in becoming a “real boy.” Yet it is hardly a sentimental or morally improving tale. To the contrary, Pinocchio is one of the great subversives of the written page, a madcap genius hurtled along at the pleasure and mercy of his desires, a renegade who in many ways resembles his near contemporary Huck Finn. .Pinocchio the novel, no less than Pinocchio the character, is one of the great inventions of modern literature. A sublime anomaly, the book merges the traditions of the picaresque, of street theater, and of folk and fairy tales into a work that is at once adventure, satire, and a powerful enchantment that anticipates surrealism and magical realism. Thronged with memorable characters and composed with the fluid but inevitable logic of a dream, Pinocchio is an endlessly fascinating work that is essential equipment for life. It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of this timeless story.

  • The Adventures of Pinocchio

    Carlo Collodi, Alice Carsey

    language (Digireads.com, April 1, 2004)
    First published in 1883, this classic of children's literature is known worldwide as a story of a wooden puppet boy and his creator, Geppetto. Though this tale has undergone countless adaptations, the original story is surprisingly dark and dream-like, beginning with a talking piece of pine that refuses to become the leg of a table. When given to the small Italian village's poor woodcarver, the pine becomes a mischievous puppet boy named Pinocchio. All the wooden puppet dreams of is becoming a real boy, though he is very frequently distracted, first by marionettes, then by a fox and a cat, later by a snake, weasels, and the circus. Though he is aided by the Talking Cricket and the Turquoise Fairy, Pinocchio's adventures and trials take him down a long road that ultimately leads him to his first wish: becoming a real boy. As loveable as Huck Finn, Pinocchio is naughty, lucky, tragic, comedic, illiterate, and imaginative in this subversive work that is just as much satire as it is pure enchantment. This edition includes over forty illustrations by Alice Carsey.

  • Pinocchio: The Tale of a Puppet

    Carlo Collodi, Alice Carsey

    eBook (First Avenue Editions ™, Jan. 1, 2015)
    When a woodcarver named Geppetto makes a puppet out of magical wood, the puppet starts to talk and move. Geppetto names his new son Pinocchio. However, Pinocchio is not well-behaved; he runs away, lies, and gets into all sorts of mischief. Through it all, Geppetto, the Talking Cricket, and the Fairy with Turquoise Hair try their best to keep the young troublemaker in line. In the end, it's up to Pinocchio himself to prove that he is responsible and kind enough to become a real boy. This famous Italian children's story by Carlo Collodi was first serialized in 1881-1882 and published as a book in 1883. This is an unabridged version taken from a 1916 English language edition, with illustrations by Alice Carsey.
