Originally published in 1883, The Adventures of Pinocchio is one of the best known and beloved childrens classics. Written by Italian political satirist Carlo Collodi, it is the story of Geppetto, a poor puppeteer who uses an enchanted piece of wood to carve a marionette boy he calls Pinocchio.

Soon, his curiosity, mischievousness, and naivete lead him away from his fathers shop and into a series of perilous encounters with vicious puppet masters, cunning animals, and other magical characters. Along this perilous journey, the magical puppet learns how much turmoil, heart, and hard work it takes to become a real boy. With a nose that grows larger with each lie he tells, Pinocchio has become an enduring icon in childrens literature, and now his story is brilliantly reimagined in this stunning gift edition.
