Collodi. The story follows the unruly wooden puppet Pinocchio, carved by the kindly Geppetto and miraculously brought to life. Impulsive, mischievous and easily led astray, Pinocchio abandons school and repeatedly encounters danger through his dealings with tricksters, travelling players and other fantastic characters, while longing ultimately to prove himself worthy of becoming a real boy.\n               \u003cdiv\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n               \u003c\/div\u003e\n               \u003cdiv\u003e\n                First published in serial form in Italy during the 1880s, Pinocchio combines lively adventure, fairy-tale invention and pointed moral instruction. Beneath its humour lies a vivid account of temptation, dishonesty, poverty and personal responsibility, with Pinocchio gradually learning the value of courage, loyalty and hard work. Considerably richer and more episodic than many later adaptations, Collodi's original tale remains one of the most enduring and internationally recognised works of children's literature.\n               \u003c\/div\u003e\n               \u003cdiv\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n               \u003c\/div\u003e\n               This attractive undated edition was published in London circa 1915 by J.
