Read by Martin Jarvis

PINOCCHIO is the best puppet story ever written. The listener soon becomes caught up with
Carlo Collodi's impish creation as they are swept along at a cracking action-packed pace
from the day when Geppetto first carves the puppet from a piece of wood to the final happy
ending with many exciting and dangerous adventures on the way. The story has a strong moral
throughout which is as suitable for children (and adults!) today as when first written.
This recording has been abridged from a translation of the original book first published
in 1883 only seven years before the author's death.
