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 Corenzini was both in Florence, Italy, in 1826 and worked as a writer and journalist under the pseudonym Carlo Collodi. In addition to being celebrated for his writing he was also known for his active interest in political life and ideas. He first began to engage with a young audience of readers when he published a translation of the French Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault in 1876, and then began work on his most celebrated book, Pinocchio, in 1881. His story of a puppet began life as a series of instalments published in The Children's Magazine before being published as a complete book - with a new ending - in 1883. Corenzini died some seven years later, in 1890, in his home city of Florence.
