The Adventures of Pinocchio beautifully presents the classic tale of Pinocchio, a naughty wooden puppet carved out by Geppetto. A mischief-maker by all means, he gets into trouble on several occasions. He kills a talking cricket, lands into prison, turns into a donkey and is thrown into a shark’s belly.
This heartwarming tale imagines us through the journey of this mischievous marionette that likes to play and enjoy but has a dream to transform itself into a real boy. From the highest adventure to his deepest despair, he experiences several endeavors to learn lessons of life and finally attains true happiness.
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.
