    About this audiobook

    Do today's children still learn what a "marionette" is? The beloved story of Pinocchio may represent a last lingering picture of a world not dominated by plastic or electronic toys.

    Pinocchio is a puppet made from a piece of wood that curiously could talk even before being carved. A wooden-head he starts and a wooden-head he stays — until after years of misadventures caused by his laziness and failure to keep promises he finally learns to care about his family — and then he becomes a real boy. For those who have seen the Disney movie the cast of characters will be familiar, from the talking cricket (who acts as his conscience) to lamp-wick, his partner in truancy and having heedless fun.

    Though the toys of today are far from the puppet shows in Carlo Collodi's story, his themes of being truthful, thoughtful, and dependable will always be timeless.

    Carlo Collodi

    Carlo Collodi is the pen name of Italian author Carlo Lorenzini, creator of the beloved children’s character, Pinocchio. A Tuscan who fought in Italy’s wars of unification, Collodi was already a famous novelist and popular translator of French fairy tales when he began to contribute chapters in the life of a marionette to Italy’s first newspaper for children, Il Giornale per i Bambini. The adventures of the disobedient puppet were an immediate success and Pinocchio’s story has been translated and adapted numerous times, including the classic 1940 animated production from Walt Disney. Collodi died in 1890.
