Synopsis

This is the latest title in Sterling's Unabridged Classics series. It is an adventure-filled, menacing fairy tale with a moral. It is suitable for children aged 10 and over. Pinocchio, in Carlo Collodi's original version, is an adventure-filled, menacing fairy tale with a moral. Made by the woodcarver Geppetto, the puppet Pinocchio dreams of becoming a real child. But his unrestrained curiosity, dishonesty and selfishness put him in constant peril. As he journeys from the deceptive 'Field of Miracles', where he plants gold coins to make them grow, to the land where lazy boys turn into donkeys, Pinocchio's path is paved with mistakes, willfulness, and danger. And all the while his nose keeps growing bigger and bigger and bigger every time he tells a fib, so all the world can see what a liar he is.

About this title

Review:

"Fulvio Testa's illustrations capture the jaunty tone of the storytelling." (Julia Eccleshare Guardian, Best Children's Books for Christmas 2012)

"A stunning new edition. The illustrations will have you transfixed . . . It would make a lovely present." (Angels & Urchins)

"Vivid illustrations...a huge cast of colourful characters. They make the Disney images look very wooden." (Books for Keeps)

"Handsomely produced volume." (Irish Times)
