Beloved tale of the adventures of a puppet, carved from a stick of
wood, who eventually becomes a real boy after many trials and
tribulations. Though urged to right behavior by his father Gepetto,
the Talking-cricket, and the Blue Fairy, Pinocchio yields to
temptations that land him in desperate straits. Yet, time after
time, he is rescued, sometimes by a stroke of luck and other times
by someone he had befriended previously. Pinocchio's indomitable
spirit shines throughout, lending humor and playfulness to whatever
situation he finds himself in, whether that is planting his money
in the Field of Miracles, sharing the humiliation of growing donkey
ears with his good friend Candlewick, or discovering his father at
long last in the belly of the Dog-fish. All the while Pinocchio is
growing in goodness and at last becomes a real little boy with a
loving heart, a dutiful son to a devoted father. This edition
couples the first translation from the Italian into English by M.
A. Murray with dozens of engaging illustrations by Charles Folkard.
Suitable for ages 7 and up.
