Pinocchio (the adventures of) by Carlo Collodi (Free Audio Book)

The audiobook features the original, walking, talking, living doll – Pinocchio – whose adventures lead him away from his father, Geppetto, and towards talking crickets and thieving foxes. Originally a satire on Italian politics with a harsh finale, its popularity with children led Collodi to add a new ending – cementing its place as a children’s favourite.

For those who have seen the Disney movie the cast of characters will be familiar, from the Talking Cricket (who acts as his conscience) to Lamp-Wick, his partner in truancy and having heedless fun. Though the toys of today are far from the puppet shows in Carlo Collodi’s book, his themes of being truthful, thoughtful, and dependable will always be timely.
