And yet, every single morning, the princesses awake with their delicate dancing slippers completely worn through, as if they had been spinning and twirling for hours. Desperate for the truth, the king makes a royal proclamation. Any man who can discover exactly where the princesses go at night and how their shoes are destroyed will be rewarded with the kingdom and the hand of a princess in marriage. Soon, a clever and observant soldier arrives at the palace, determined to uncover the magical secret hidden beneath the castle floors. This enchanting retelling of a timeless fairytale brings the mystery and elegance of the twelve secretive sisters to life, drawing readers into a hidden world of midnight music and magic.

Once there was a lonely woodcutter named Geppetto-who dreamed of having a boy of his own. So one day he carved a boy out of wood and named him Pinocchio.

When the puppet comes to life, it's Geppetto's dream come true.

Except Pinocchio turns out to be not such a nice boy after all. Pinocchio enjoys nothing better than creating mischief and playing mean tricks. As he discovers, being bad is much more fun than being good.

For a while, anyway.

Happily for Pinocchio, he will learn that there is much more to being a real boy than having fun.

A magical tale that has entertained children of all ages for more than a hundred years, this lavishly and gorgeously illustrated new edition is the perfect introduction of a timeless classic to a new generation of readers.
