The Adventures of Pinocchio By Carlo Collodi (The Annotated Classic Edition) Adventure Fantasy Children Book

Pinocchio is an astonishing work of fantasy, rich and wildly imaginative story by Carlo Collodi.

To be a real boy - that is the heart's desire of the little wooden puppet carved by the old and sprightly Geppeto. Naughty, mischevious, and bold, Pinocchio sets off on adventures and gets into trouble - but to achieve his desire, he will have to face many challenges and learn some very important lessons.


Pinocchio the novel, no less than Pinocchio the character, is one of the great inventions of modern literature. A sublime anomaly, the book merges the traditions of the picaresque, of street theater, and of folk and fairy tales into a work that is at once adventure, satire, and a powerful enchantment that anticipates surrealism and magical realism.
