About the book
Poor old Geppetto carves a puppet out of a piece of wood that talks, and calls him Pinocchio. The naughty puppet runs away on his very first day, and from then on he falls from one adventure into the next: Fire-Eater's puppet theatre, the cunning Fox and Cat, the Fairy with blue hair, the nose that grows with every lie, the Land of Boobies and the giant Dog-Fish that swallows Geppetto. Carlo Collodi published the story in 1883.
Translated from the Italian; from the 1916 Whitman edition, which did not name its translator.
