Editorial Review

Originally written in Italian by Carlo Collodi, Pinocchio is one of the best-known and most beloved fairy tales and bedtime stories ever told. Whether listeners are familiar with the English translation of the classic children’s book, The Adventures of Pinocchio, fans of the acclaimed 1940 Disney animated film, or young and new to the story, this dazzling audio adaptation narrated by Stephen Mangan is sure to delight.

Pinocchio follows the story of Geppetto, a woodcarver who crafts a puppet that resembles a boy and gives him a name. Suddenly, the marionette, Pinocchio, comes to life and declares his desire to become a real boy. Determined to make Papa Geppetto proud, he sets out to try to live a life that resembles that of a human child.

With a talking cricket at his side, Pinocchio tries his best to navigate society and keep his head afloat as vagabonds and criminals in the form of a cat and a fox try to take advantage of the naïve wooden puppet. Can Pinocchio survive those who want to do him harm? Will he overcome his temptation to lie to Geppetto? And will he be able to achieve his dream of becoming a real boy? Newly adapted by Guillermo del Toro for Netflix and starring Ewan McGregor, Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett, Pinocchio continues to entertain kids of all ages and grown-ups. Its impact on children’s literature and fairy tales know no bounds.

Missing large parts

This audiobook is missing large parts of the story of Pinocchio. It is free so I guess you get what you pay for.
