A lovable but mischievous marionette hopes to become a real boy, but first must learn to work hard, overcome peer pressure, and stop telling lies before his wish is granted. Pinocchio has enraptured the hearts of children and adults alike since 1881. The tale revolutionized Italian children's literature by using comedic characters and minimal adult intrusion to tell a story with a moral lesson. Published as a serial in the Giornale per i bambini, or "Children's Magazine", the stories were compiled into one volume in 1883.

Le avventure di Pinocchio, ovvero la storia di un bambino-burattino in un mondo di adulti: dove i fili che lo muovono sono spesso troppo corti per contenere la sua vitalità e il suo ingegno catastrofico. Pinocchio non è cattivo; ha semplicemente una curiosità sfrenata, irriverente, nel suo essere vivo e scalpitante. Capriccioso sì, e anche bugiardo, ma per la paura di esser sbagliato nel mondo in cui "è stato nato". Ma è anche e soprattutto buono, sincero, altruista, premuroso, intrepido e giudizioso.

Pinocchio is the best puppet story ever. Listeners will quickly be caught up in Carlo Collodi's impish creation as they are swept along at an action-packed pace. From the day when Geppetto first carves Pinocchio from a piece of wood to the final happy ending - with many exciting and dangerous adventures along the way - Pinocchio will charm and captivate. The story also has a strong moral throughout, which is as suitable for children (and adults!) today as when the original book was written.

Wanneer de houtbewerker Geppetto een vallende ster ziet, wenst hij dat de pop die hij net heeft afgemaakt, Pinokkio, een echte jongen zou worden. 's Nachts vervult de Blauwe Fee Geppetto's wens.
