Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio follows a mischievous wooden puppet who longs to become a real boy. Created by the elderly carpenter Geppetto, Pinocchio stumbles through a world of temptation, trickery, and wonder — meeting the Blue Fairy, the sly Fox and Cat, and surviving a swallowing by a giant whale along the way.
First serialised in an Italian newspaper in 1881, the story is richer and stranger than many film adaptations suggest. Its unforgettable lessons about honesty, hard work, and the love of a parent feel as fresh as ever. Download the free EPUB and discover Collodi’s extraordinary original tale.
