The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlos Collodi

Sadly, my original copy of this book, already degraded by time, was ruined after last year's house fire.

To readers interested in the darkness inherent within the tale, I highly recommend having a read of my original blog post about the book. Comparing the images in that post with those in this post also highlights how a book will deteriorate over time without care!


Regular readers of Pixie-Led will already be aware of how scary I find this particular book. As such, it will definitely feature in the the first issue of my Pixie-Led zine, which I plan on writing, producing and publish some time in 2026...

What Strange Sights & Adventure Await in this Wood?

Scary Finally

I'll keep any further chat on Pinocchio for the future zine. But I will leave you with a question. Am I alone in finding this particular edition of Pinocchio to be the best version of the tale?
