Pinocchio was mischievous from the moment Geppetto carved him. Instead of going to school or learning a trade, the puppet-turned-boy sought only fun and indulgence. His lies made his nose grow longer, and his reckless adventures led him into dangerous situations—prison, being turned into a donkey, and even swallowed by a giant shark.
This abridged edition, enhanced by Thea Kliros's 32 original illustrations, features classic characters like Geppetto, the wise cricket, a clever fox, and a magical fairy. Full of humor, adventure, and a heartwarming ending, this beloved fable has captivated readers for over 100 years and continues to enchant new generations.
