We are delighted to introduce the second release in our Fairy Tale Collection: Carlo Collodi, Pinocchio. This design celebrates the beloved classic tale of an animated marionette named Pinocchio whose only wish is to be a real boy.
Reproduced here is a manuscript page of Collodi’s original The Adventures of Pinocchio, courtesy of the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze in Florence, Italy. The 1883 children’s fantasy novel follows the adventures of the mischievous Pinocchio and his creator and father figure, a poor woodcarver named Geppetto. Since its first publication as a book rather than in serial form, Pinocchio has been one of the most popular pieces of children’s literature and its main character beloved as a universal icon and metaphor of the human condition.
The Adventures of Pinocchio is the world\'s third most translated book and was the first work of Italian children\'s literature to achieve international fame. One of its most famous adaptations is the 1940 Disney movie, which is considered to be among the studio’s greatest films.
