【"Pinocchio" - Forget Disney !!】
This book is such a classic, the age-old story presented in a perfect-sized paperback was just what I wanted.+++
Of course you already know the story of Pinocchio, right??
Who doesn't??
Millions have been charmed by the story of the naughty puppet that wanted to become a real boy.!!
His adventures are hardly new, as Pinocchio is in turn carved by Geppetto, rebellious against his father, disobedient to the good fairy, victimized at the hands of the deceitful cat and fox, changed into a donkey, rescued with his father in the whale, and eventually becomes a Real Boy.*****
This is not Disney's watered-down and water-logged *Pinocchio* -- this is the book that has the real stuff, and if children like the Disney movie, it's because they're getting a hint of the wonders of Collodi's book.☆☆☆☆☆
As long as you're only familiar with the simplified version of Pinocchio, you'll think of Pinocchio as a wooden and old story for little kids.
But anyone who is familiar with The Real Thing, The Original by Carlo Collodi, knows that just like Pinocchio himself, the Real Pinocchio story is in the end no wooden puppet, but a living and breathing classic.!!
