The Adventures of Pinocchio

the eternal puppet, here again the characters made alive by the sublime pen of Collodi and the fascinating pencil of Mussino. Beautiful! From the title page, the snouts between the clever and the sinister of the Cat and the Fox and the intrigued smile of Pinocchio take irresistibly by the hand and transport the magical world of Mastro Cherry (Cherry), Geppetto, Fire Eater (Mangiafuoco) the field of Wonders (in the field of miracles).
