From the moment Geppetto the wood carver shapes a puppet that can walk and talk this wildly inventive fantasy takes Pinocchio through countless adventures in which his nose grows whenever he lies he narrowly avoids death on a number of occasions he is turned into a donkey and is swallowed by a dogfish before he finally achieves true happiness. <em>Pinocchio</em> is not in any sense sentimental nor is it a morally improving tale. On the contrary Pinocchio is one of the great subversives of literature a chaotic genius driven on at the mercy of his desires in short a renegade. Indeed he is one of the great inventions of modern literature. The novel merges the picaresque hero with elements of street theatre of folk and fairy tales into a work that is at once adventure satire and a powerful enchantment. The book is full of memorable characters is narrated with the fluid but inevitable logic of a dream and is an endlessly fascinating work. Although originally directed at Italian children in the generation following the <em>risorgimento</em> the adult reader will recognize in the <em>Pinocchio</em> layers of social and political satire. This is the first time that it has appeared in Cornish.</p>
