PINOCCHIO

Pinocchio's creator and father Geppetto's loves him dearly and although Pinocchio loves him just as much, the wayward puppet finds it almost impossible to be the good, loving son he wishes to be. More than anything, Pinocchio longs to be a real boy and the Blue Fairy promises to grant his wish if he can prove that he is brave, loyal and honest. But Pinocchio loves having fun and he's easily tempted into making the wrong choices. Before long he is drawn into a series of magical and often frightening adventures - will he ever learn the difference between good and bad? Carlo Collodi's classic story of the wayward puppet Pinocchio is vividly brought to life by Roberto Innocenti's stunning illustrations.
