The astonishing tale of how the old woodcarver Geppetto made a disobedient puppet boy that could talk, dance and turn somersaults has been a much-loved story since it was first written more than 130 years ago. "e;The Adventures of Pinocchio"e; first appeared in 1881 as a series in a children's newspaper. Since then, readers young and old have delighted in Collodi's fantastic fairy-tale world, in which anything can happen and excitement waits round every corner. The exuberant young scamp Pinocchio ignores the advice of his kindly father and sets off into the world in search of adventure. Along the way he encounters many remarkable characters - including the nefarious Fox and Cat, a wise-talking cricket and a beautiful azure-haired fairy - and lurches from one predicament to another. Happily, by the end of the book, this wilful wooden hero finally learns his lesson and obtains his heart's desire - becoming a real boy. In this handsome new edition, award-winning illustrator Robert Ingpen has captured the rascally Pinocchio and his extraordinary escapades as never before, breathing new excitement into this enchanting classic.
This story of a boy growing up in a small town on the Mississippi, in a new edition with 70 original illustrations by Robert Ingpen.
