This beautiful HarperCollins Children’s Classics edition of Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio is the perfect addition to any bookshelf. Complete your library with HarperCollins Children’s Classics. When Geppetto carves himself a son from an enchanted piece of wood, the mischievous Pinocchio is born – and a fantastical story begins. Along the way, Pinocchio is swindled by a fox and a cat, saved by a fairy, turned into a donkey and swallowed by a dogfish, all before he learns what it truly takes to become a real boy . . . The puppet whose nose grows when he tells a lie has remained one of the most famous children’s characters for over a century, and with editions in around 300 languages Pinocchio is one of the most widely translated books in the world.
