{"product_id":"pinocchio-12","title":"Pinocchio","description":"\u003cp\u003eEveryone knows Pinocchio, the walking, talking wooden puppet carved from a table leg. Pinocchio, an endearing scamp, is always getting himself into trouble. But it isn't the sort of trouble most kids get into. Skiving off school, he is kidnapped by a puppeteer, robbed by a Cat and Fox, and persuaded to visit an earthly paradise where naughty children have perpetual fun - and turn into donkeys. Sold to a circus, then to a man who tries to drown him for his donkey-skin, he miraculously turns back into a puppet and goes in search of his 'father' (whom he must rescue from the belly of a giant dogfish ...). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout these manic adventures he is haunted by the ghost of a Talking Cricket he has crushed to death for giving good advice, and watched over by his personal guardian fairy. All the while, Pinocchio dreams of becoming a real boy. Told with wit and humour, his story is also a moral fable about making the right choices, and what it is to be a loving human being. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePinocchio\u003c\/i\u003e is an astonishing work of fantasy which has been toned down and sentimentalized over the years, not least by the Walt Disney film. Everyman returns to a beautifully illustrated early translation of 1916 which captures the vivid inventiveness of Collodi's original.","brand":"Childrens Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50868897218792,"sku":"9781857155167","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/9539\/3512\/files\/imageloader_e31f551c-9cd8-4999-ad46-82627cb46b52.jpg?v=1790359197","url":"https:\/\/shop.kuumba.app\/products\/pinocchio-12","provider":"Kuumba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
