Firstly I fell in love with the beautiful illustrations. So soft and almost textile looking everytime I open this book I feel like putting on some knee high stripped socks, an old coat and stealing gepetto's hat. However I have always loved Pinocchio, or pastacio as I used to call him. The disney version has always been a favorite as with the live action movie. We all know the story, but John Patience does it in such a way that makes me wish for a 'real boy' like pinocchio and always takes me back to a time reading in the winter or reading aloud to my soft toys when I was scared.
If you can get your hands on it, see the illstrations for yourself. They are stunning.,
