Pinocchio

Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio /1883/ is one of the most renowned works in the history of children’s literature.

The name Pinocchio comes from the Italian pino — pine, the type of wood from which “father” Geppetto carves the little puppet.

“Once upon a time there was a piece of wood. It was not an especially fine piece of wood, but an ordinary log, the kind that people put in stoves and fireplaces in winter to warm their rooms...”
