Pinocchio is a wooden puppet who comes to life and has the most astonishing adventures.

About Carlo Collodi

Carlo Collodi (1826-1890) was born in Florence, Italy, in 1826. At the age of twenty-two, he became a journalist to work for the Italian independence struggle and also wrote comedies and edited newspapers and reviews. In 1861, when Italy became a united nation, Collodi gave up journalism and settled down as a theatrical censor and magazine editor. He then turned to children's fantasy, and in 1881 the first chapter of Pinocchio appeared in the Giornale Dei Bambini and became an immediate success. Collodi died in Florence in 1890.
