The exuberant young scamp Pinocchio ignores the advice of his kindly father and sets off into the world in search of adventure.
Along the way he encounters many remarkable characters - including the nefarious Fox and Cat, a wise-talking cricket and a beautiful azure-haired fairy - and lurches from one predicament to another.
By the end of the book, this wilful wooden hero finally learns his lesson and obtains his heart's desire - becoming a real boy.
