Award-winning illustrator Robert Ingpen has captured the mischievous Pinocchio and his extraordinary escapades as never before, breathing new excitement into this enchanting classic.
The exuberant young scamp Pinocchio ignores the advice of his kindly father and sets off into the world in search of adventure.
Along the way he encounters many remarkable characters – including the nefarious Fox and Cat, a wise-talking cricket and a beautiful azure-haired fairy – and lurches from one predicament to another.
By the end of the book, this wilful wooden hero finally learns his lesson and obtains his heart's desire – becoming a real boy.
A full-colour illustrated edition of one of the world's best loved stories.
'Ingpen's drawings are utterly compelling' – Michael Morpurgo
