The Adventures Of Pinocchio

By Carlo Collodi
The Adventures Of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Out of a magical, talking piece of wood, the lonely woodcarver Geppetto carves himself a son—a mischievous puppet he names Pinocchio. Ignorant of right and wrong, Pinocchio runs away from Geppetto, and embarks on a series of increasingly fantastic misadventures, until he learns that he can become a real boy by doing good deeds.

The Adventures of Pinocchio is a classic children’s story and has been adapted many times since it was originally published in 1883, including the animated classic, a 2002 live-action film starring Breckin Meyer and Glenn Close, and served as inspiration for Steven Spielberg’s 2001 film A. I. Artificial Intelligence.

The Adventures Of Pinocchio Reviews

2.5
“I despise the Disney movie. But this novel clearly falls in "the book is better than the film" category. I thoroughly enjoyed the way morality played a role in everything Pinocchio did. A great children's story. And one in which adults can still learn a thing or two.”

About Carlo Collodi

Carlo Collodi is the pen name of Italian author Carlo Lorenzini, creator of the beloved children’s character, Pinocchio. A Tuscan who fought in Italy’s wars of unification, Collodi was already a famous novelist and popular translator of French fairy tales when he began to contribute chapters in the life of a marionette to Italy’s first newspaper for children, Il Giornale per i Bambini. The adventures of the disobedient puppet were an immediate success and Pinocchio’s story has been translated and adapted numerous times, including the classic 1940 animated production from Walt Disney. Collodi died in 1890.
