Carlo Collodi’s the Adventures of Pinocchio

This contemporary translation and adaptation of the beloved children’s classic “Pinocchio” brings the wit, humor and insights of Carlo Collodi’s original book to a modern-day audience.

As the irrepressible wooden puppet moves from adventure to misadventure and back again it looks like he will never achieve his dream of becoming a real boy. With every lie he tells his nose grows longer and longer. But with the love and concern of his friends the Blue Fairy, Geppetto, Cricket and a cast of magical characters, he never looses hope. Eventually Pinocchio earns his reward and becomes a real boy.
