The perfect gift for all ages, Pinocchio as you`ve never seen him before: telling his own story through the master storyteller & award-winning author of WAR HORSE. ” Now
- there`s no point in pretending here
- I was, & still am deep down, a puppet. Everyone knows Pinocchio is a puppet. I reckon I must be just about the most famous puppet the world has ever known. But the truth is I`m not just a puppet, I`m more than just bits of wood & string. I`m me. So I thought it was about time that I, Pinocchio, told you my story...” So begins this stunningly beautiful interpretation of the classic story. Michael Morpurgo channels Pinocchio`s words to tell the famous puppet`s story in his own inimitable, cheeky & always funny way. Lavishly illustrated throughout in black-&-white by the acclaimed Emma Chichester Clark, this is a must-have for all book lovers, & an utterly charming & surprising adaptation of a much-loved tale.
