Publisher Description:

The ever popular, unforgettable story of a puppet who came to life.

Pinocchio is a wooden puppet who comes alive and starts talking and running about. When Pinocchio is sent to school, he decides to sell his school books and join a puppet show. From there start his many adventures which take him all over the countryside, making enemies like the Fox and Cat, getting turned into a donkey, being swallowed by a whale and ending up with the Blue Fairy who promises to turn him into a real boy if he stops being naughty.

The story of Pinocchio has been read and adored by children for more than a century. With this new edition introduced by Ruskin Bond, the inquisitive and mischievous Pinocchio's incredible adventures will entertain and amuse readers once more.

Contributor Bio(s): Collodi, Carlo: - 'Carlo Collodi' was the pen name of Carlo Lorenzini. He was born in 1826 in Florence, Italy. He worked as a journalist and civil servant before he started writing plays and satires in 1856. In 1881 he wrote the first version of the story of a puppet and 'The Adventures of Pinocchio' was published serially in an Italian children's newspaper. Lorenzini died in 1890.
