The perfect gift for all ages, Pinocchio as you've never seen him before: narrating his story through the distinguished storyteller and award-winning author of WAR HORSE.
“Now - there's no point in pretending here - I was, and still am deep inside, a puppet. Everyone knows that Pinocchio is a puppet. I think I must be perhaps the most famous puppet that has ever existed in the world. But the truth is that I'm not just a puppet, I'm more than pieces of wood and string. I am me. So I thought it was time to tell you my story...”
Thus begins this astonishingly beautiful rendition of the classic story. Michael Morpurgo translates Pinocchio’s words to narrate the famous marionette’s tale in his unique, subversive, and always humorous way.
Amazingly illustrated in black and white by the acclaimed Emma Chichester Clark, this book is a must-have for all book lovers and a gorgeous and subversive adaptation of a beloved fairy tale story.
