Pinocchio

<div><p><strong>Translated by Mary Alice Murray.</strong></p></div><div><p>The story of the walking and talking puppet Pinocchio is one of the best-loved children¿s tales of all time.</p></div><div><p>Carved by old Gepetto, Pinocchio has an enormous nose which grows even longer whenever he tells a lie. Pinocchio is such a scamp that he gets into all sorts of mischief. He runs away to join a puppet show, he teams up with a rascally fox and wily cat, and plays truant from school which has dreadful consequences. Eventually the conscience of a talking cricket and Pinocchio¿s guardian fairy restore him to good behaviour, obedience and care for others.</p></div>
