Pinocchio (Carlo Collodi) - Mere Mortals Book Review

'Pinocchio' is the 1883 classic children's book of a puppet come to life by Carlo Collodi. Though written for children it initially had a very tragic ending, with poor Pinocchio left for dead, hung by the neck from a tree. Thankfully Collodi added more chapters to the book and we now have an uplifting ending to the tale. It is is surprisingly deep with many life lessons (such as reaping what you sow, developing virtue, not to case pearls before swine, etc.,), which is why it is one of the most translated books of all time. The original tale is very different from the Disney movie and well worth a read, for young and old. As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
