"It took one look at Gris' design for me to be convinced that... this
was 'the' Pinocchio."--Guillermo del Toro
Now a Netflix original movie! Includes an introduction by Guillermo
del Toro!
This edition has the full text of the original Pinocchio with a
mixture of full-page and spot illustrations in black and white
integrated in the text, in pen-and-ink style. The ink is sepia brown.
Once there was a lonely woodcutter named Geppetto-who dreamed of having
a boy of his own. So one day he carved a boy out of wood and named him
Pinocchio.
When the puppet comes to life, it's Geppetto's dream come true.
Except Pinocchio turns out to be not such a nice boy after all.
Pinocchio enjoys nothing better than creating mischief and playing mean
tricks. As he discovers, being bad is much more fun than being good.
For a while, anyway.
Happily for Pinocchio, he will learn that there is much more to being a
real boy than having fun.
A magical tale that has entertained children of all ages for more than a
hundred years, this lavishly and gorgeously illustrated new edition is
the perfect introduction of a timeless classic to a new generation of
readers.
And that's no lie!
