A rediscovered gem from Italian children literature, written by the author of Pinocchio, translated and expanded by Alessandro Gallenzi and illustrated by Axel Scheffler (the illustrator of the Gruffalo). Collodi wrote this story immediately after Pinocchio, and the little monkey's adventures present clear similarities, both in terms of themes and characters, with his more celebrated masterpiece. Pipi isn't like his four brothers or the other young monkeys living in the forest of Hullabaloo: he has bright-pink fur, a mischievous character and a rebellious streak that lands him into all sorts of scrapes. In this story, an expanded version of Collodi's original tale, we see him lose his tail to an ancient crocodile, end up as a valet to a young master, fall into the hands of flying bandits and become emperor of a tribe of apes. Collodi wrote this story immediately after Pinocchio, and the little monkey's adventures present clear similarities, both in terms of themes and characters, with his more celebrated masterpiece. This rediscovered gem of Italian literature, beautifully illustrated by Axel Scheffler and preserving all of Collodi's trademark wit and linguistic crispness, will delight and enthral a new generation of children.

Carlo Collodi (1826-1890) - oikealta nimeltään Carlo Lorenzini - kirjoitti vuonna 1883 ilmestyneen alkuperäisen italiankielisen teoksen Le avventure di Pinocchio, joka ilmestyi suomennettuna vuonna 1906 nimellä Pinocchion seikkailut - kertomus marionetista. Suomentaja Maija Halonen (1873-1944) kuului myös Tuusulanjärven taiteilija-yhteisöön, samoin kuin hänen puolisonsa taidemaalari Pekka Halonen. Teos kertoo köyhästä Geppettosta, joka päättää tehdä puunuken - marionetin, joka osaa tanssia, taistella ja heittää kuperkeikkoja ilmassa - jonka kanssa hän voisi sitten lähteä kiertämään maailmaa ja tienaamaan samalla leipänsä. Taitava Geppetto onnistuu marionetin rakentamisessa niin hyvin, että se käyttäytyy heti kuin elävä ihminen, ja saa nimekseen Pinocchio. Se onkin aika vekkuli, joka tekee kaikenlaisia kujeita, mutta jolla on yksi hämmästyttävä ominaisuus: hänen nenänsä pitenee, kun hän valehtelee. Pinocchio haluaa kuitenkin tulla hyväksi pojaksi ja päättää aloittaa koulunkäynnin, mutta jo koulumatkalla tulee vastaan houkutuksia, joita ei pysty vastustamaan. Hän karkaa, mutta joutuu pian huomaamaan, että tottelemattomien lasten ei käy hyvin ja hän joutuu kaikenlaisiin seikkailuihin ja kommelluksiin. Teos sisältää 36 lukua ja on lastenkirjallisuuden klassikko, jota on käännetty sadoille kielille, ja siitä on tehty myös elokuvia.

Le avventure di Pinocchio. Storia di un burattino un romanzo scritto da Carlo Collodi (pseudonimo dello scrittore Carlo Lorenzini) a Firenze nel 1881 e pubblicato nel 1883 dalla Libreria Editrice Felice Paggi con le illustrazioni di Enrico Mazzanti. Il romanzo ha come protagonista Pinocchio, che l'autore chiama impropriamente burattino, pur essendo morfologicamente pi simile a una marionetta al centro di celeberrime avventure. Nelle intenzioni di Carlo Collodi pare non vi fosse quella di creare un racconto per l'infanzia: nella prima versione, infatti, il burattino moriva impiccato a causa dei suoi innumerevoli errori. Solo nelle versioni successive, pubblicate a puntate su un quotidiano, la storia venne prolungata anche dopo la sequenza dell'impiccagione, giungendo al classico finale che oggi si conosce, con il burattino che assume le fattezze di un ragazzo in carne ed ossa (Aonia edizioni).

Den fattige snickaren Geppetto är duktig på att tälja i trä. Ur ett fint stycke pinje-trä täljer han en docka som han kallar Pinocchio. Snart upptäcker Geppetto att dockan lever. Pinocchio får Geppettos sista mynt för att gå och köpa bröd. Men Pinocchio går inte till bageriet, utan råkar istället ut för många spännande äventyr. Och varje gång han försöker ljuga sig ur en knipa växer hans näsa och blir jättelång. Av denna klassiker har Maria Seidemann gjort en rolig och spännande bearbetning för barn. Härligt illustrerad av Petra Probst. En älskad trädocka – här varsamt återuppväckt att läsas för och av barn i lågstadiet. Hegas böcker – lätta att läsa. Svåra att motstå.
