Adventures of pinocchio (Oxford University Press)

The story of the wooden puppet who learns goodness and becomes a real boy is famous the world over, and has been familiar in English for over a century. From the moment Joseph the carpenter carves a puppet that can walk and talk, this wildly inventive fantasy takes Pinocchio through countless adventures, in the course of which his nose grows whenever he tells a lie, he is turned into a donkey, and is swallowed aby a dogfish, before he gains real happiness. This new translation does full justice to the vibrancy and wit of Collodi
