Pinocchio

Pinocchio is a classic of children's literature and this retelling by Joy Cowley distinguishes itself through its neat ability to make the plot concise and easy for children to read. The timeless story of the naïve and mischievous wooden puppet is perfectly matched in this picture book with illustrations that use a detailed woodblock and etching technique.

Carlo Collodi (1826 - 1890), was an Italian children's writer known for the world-renowned fairy tale novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio. He died before he saw his work become famous.
