The Adventures of Pinocchio: Illustrated by Attilio Mussino

The Adventures of Pinocchio by C. Collodi (the pen name of Carlo Lorenzini) was first published in book form in 1883 in Florence, Italy, after its successful serialization in the weekly Giornale per i Bambini from July 1881 to January 1883. The story of an enchanted marionette who yearns to be a real boy, Pinocchio was an immediate sensation and has never gone out of print, having been translated into hundreds of languages and adapted to the stage and screen countless times. In 1911 the Italian artist Attilio Mussino drew more than 280 beautiful, striking, and iconic illustrations for the first color edition of Pinocchio, which are included in this new Top Five Classics edition of Collodi's immortal work. The text, translated by Carol Della Chiesa for the 1925 American edition, is not the Disney version, but a universal moral parable for children that reflects its Italian heritage and satiric sense of humor, as well as the darkness and magic that are an integral part of all classic fairy tales.

Best Version of Pinocchio - The Only One to Buy

This version of Pinochio with Mussino's beautiful illustrations is by far the best version of Pinocchio available. It was originally printed in English in the 1920s and there was a reprint in the 1960's; I'm elated to see another reprint to keep this version of Pinocchio alive. Highly recommend for ages 7+.
