Description
'The story is filled with twists and turns, escapades, absurd humour and wonderful linocuts.'
Pinocchio, Carlo Collodi's peppy impish wooden puppet, must encounter many adventures before finally coming to his senses... But what must a plum pit endure before it can become a puppet?
This adventurous and comic tale told by a talking plank recounts the winding and capricious life story of a plum pit given to escapades.
Screenwriter, comic book creator and author, Vojtěch Masek, exhibits a sense for lively, nearly theatrical, storytelling and returns absurdist humor and biting levity to the children's literary scene. Abundant linocut illustrations and graphics by artist Chrudos Valousek are, as always, stunning.
