This lovely vintage children's book circa 1920 tells about the many adventures of Billy Whiskers, a goat, and his friends Button, the cat and Stumpy, the dog. The setting is just after their return from World War I. Each chapter tells of a new adventure and is accompanied by lovely color and black and white illustrations.

Carved by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a small Italian village, Pinocchio was created as a wooden puppet but dreamed of becoming a real boy. He has also been used as a character who is prone to telling lies and fabricating stories for various reasons. The story has appeared in many adaptations in other media. Pinocchio has been called an icon of modern culture and one of the most re-imagined characters in the pantheon of children's literature.
