The boy-puppet Pinocchio is one of the most popular figures in childrens literature worldwide. The Adventures of Pinocchio has been translated in 260 languages, making it the third most translated book in the world, after The Bible and The Little Prince. Our version is a newly translated reduction of Collodis original text. The Illustrator Philip Giordano was born in 1980 in Savona, Italy. After studying art in Milan and Turin, he began working as an illustrator for childrens books and magazines, cartoons, and toy design. He spent six years in Tokyo, partly because of his Asian origins, but also because he has always loved the Japanese culture. Giordanos picture books have been translated into many languages. He has won multiple awards, including the International Award for Illustration at the Bologna Book Fair in 2010, the 2017 Andersen Prize for the best book for 06 year-olds, and Taiwans best young readers book of the year in 2021.
