About this audiobook
The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi is a fairy novel, about the mischievous adventures of an animated marionette named Pinocchio and his father, a poor woodcarver named Geppetto. It is considered a canonical piece of children's literature and has inspired hundreds of new editions, stage plays, merchandising and movies, such as Walt Disney's iconic animated version and commonplace ideas such as a liar's long nose. According to extensive research done by the Fondazione Nazionale Carlo Collodi in late 1990s and based on UNESCO sources, it has been adapted in over 240 languages worldwide. That makes it among the most translated and widely read books ever written.
Carlo Collodi
Carlo Collodi is the pen name of Italian author Carlo Lorenzini, creator of the beloved children’s character, Pinocchio. A Tuscan who fought in Italy’s wars of unification, Collodi was already a famous novelist and popular translator of French fairy tales when he began to contribute chapters in the life of a marionette to Italy’s first newspaper for children, Il Giornale per i Bambini. The adventures of the disobedient puppet were an immediate success and Pinocchio’s story has been translated and adapted numerous times, including the classic 1940 animated production from Walt Disney. Collodi died in 1890.
