Pinocchio

Translated by Emma Rose. Walker Illustrated Classics are some of the best-loved stories ever told, illustrated by some of today’s finest artists. These exquisitely designed books, with their magnificent words and glorious pictures, are a pleasure to read – and re-read. The classics have never looked so good.

To be a real boy – that is the heart of Pinocchio’s desires. Pinocchio is a little wooden puppet carved by the old carpenter Geppetto out of a special piece of wood. But Pinocchio is naughty, mischievous and bold, and has many adventures and faces many challenges before he can become a good little boy at last. Emma Rose’s superb new translation is matched by Sara Fanelli’s playful illustrations in this witty version of Carlo Collodi’s 1883 classic.
