Overview

Pinocchio The Tale of a Puppet is Carlo Collodi's classic story of a wooden puppet whose mischief, hunger, fear, and longing lead him through a series of comic and dangerous lessons. Pinocchio is not simply sweet; he is impulsive, disobedient, easily tempted, and painfully alive. The tale's power comes from the tension between freedom and the need to become responsible.

Readers of children's classics and moral fantasy will find Pinocchio The Tale of a Puppet sharper than many retellings suggest. Carlo Collodi fills the story with humor, cruelty, tenderness, and strange transformations. The puppet's journey endures because growing up is shown as awkward, risky, and repeatedly unfinished. Its moral world is bright, strange, and sometimes brutally funny.
