Description: Collodi's Adventures of Pinocchio first appeared in book form in Florence around 1883, and has been translated and adapted many times since.

A wooden puppet comes to life in the world of riches and poverty, beauty and ugliness, and experiences through an exaggerated plot a story which is not too far from reality.

Pinocchio yields to temptation with extraordinary magical consequences--his nose grows when he tells lies! He is turned into a donkey when foolish!

Most of all, Pinocchio wants to be a real boy, but first he must learn to be good.
