The Adventures of Pinocchio (AmazonClassics Edition)

De: Carlo Collodi, Carol Della Chiesa - translator

Narrado por: Simon Vance

Once upon a time, there was a talking, walking, dancing piece of wood. His name was Pinocchio, the marionette created from an enchanted log by Tuscan woodcarver Geppetto.

The miraculous puppet dreams of being a real boy, but he has a mischievous streak. Pinocchio fights, kicks, lies, and runs away before Geppetto can teach him the lessons of life.

Challenged by an escalating series of misadventures, Pinocchio must learn to be selfless, respectful, and honest in order to fulfill his wishes and lose his strings. A childhood favorite, Pinocchio endures as a rite of passage and illustrates the difficulties of growing up, staying true to oneself, and being kind to others.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Adventures of Pinocchio, this edition of The Adventures of Pinocchio (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Oh Pinocchio!

The Adventures of Pinocchio is a timeless classic. I've seen the various movies over the years and enjoyed them. Nothing compares to the book though!
Pinocchio was relatable to the insights of small children who seem to repeatedly run headlong into trouble. My 10-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter enjoyed listening to Pinocchio's mishaps and regrets with me. We frequently chatted about his mistakes and what he should have done instead.
This audiobook made a great bedtime story for us all. It took us only a week to get through because we didn't want to stop listening! I have no doubt we will enjoy it again in the future.

Excellent

This book was excellent in every part. I particularly liked the story. The reading was also excellent.

Simple But Fun

Very explicitly made for teaching lessons to children- so explicitly in fact that it reads like a parody of children’s stories. I found this aspect came back around to become majorly entertaining. The story itself is pretty meandering and simple, but it definitely has some fun moments, and I laughed a bit. Narrator Vance does a great job as always. [AUDIBLE]

great story. great narrator

This great narrator brought to life this great story. It's way better than Disney's Pinocchio. Absolutely delightful

What a book! What a performance!

This is the reader Collodi had in mind when writing this book. Absolutely wonderful. Loved it.

Excellent Narrator

My 7 yo really enjoyed this one. Perfect story for for little boys! The narrator is really good with different voices for characters.

This book is amazing! I love it my cat even seems in to it! I recommend this book for 7-100😺 this is a mind blowing tale!🤯😃

So much fun!

This selection came up in my suggested reads and I laughed. Pinocchio? Really? I’m not that far from 50... but then I remembered that original classic stories can be very different than the Disney versions. This did NOT disappoint!! This original version is delightfully trippy and a tad sinister. What made it was the narrator. He’s fantastic!!! Several times my kids and husband have come running to see what I’m laughing about and shake their heads... Pinocchio.

I wish the story could go on forever, it’s such a great escape from the real world in its current condition. If you need a break, I highly recommend this.

Such a dark but imaginative tale

Well done to the narrator. Simon Vance did a great job with the voices and overall a stellar performance. I was captivated from start to finish.

This original is a must read for any parent

Brilliant story. Well performed. This original tale adds so much more than the Disney version we are familiar with. A must read for any patent if mischievous boys.
