(Cornelia House, Dec. 7, 2013)
This is a classical children’s literature known all over the world. Geppetto, an old woodcarver, receives a piece of wood which looks perfect for his next project, a puppet. But when he sets to work something magical happens – the piece of wood begins to talk. When Geppetto is finished, the puppet turns out to be cheeky, naughty, and can walk, run and eat with as hearty an appetite as any young boy. Pinocchio is rebellious – he tells lies, and every time he lies, his nose grows longer. He is easily led astray, tumbling from one terrible adventure to another in which he is robbed, imprisoned, chased by bandits and only just escapes death. The Adventures of Pinocchio is a great read for both children and adults.Includes: The Adventures of Pinocchio with table of contents and important quotes
