Enhancing children's enjoyment of old time literature with electronic media!

Written by Carlo Lorenzini Pinocchio was written by Carlo Lorenzini and illustrated by Frederick Richardson. The original story of Pinocchio is quite different from the one that became a popular movie. There have been numerous translations from the Italian. The book we have selected to use does not give credit to the translator. To help bring this wonderful old time children's classic to life, we've added music and touched up the pictures a bit. We will be bringing you a new story each month. So be sure and come back to read the new stories about the mischievous wooden boy and his many adventures free on Ongoing Tales. Once the series is finished, the book may be purchased on CD-ROM to be enjoy with all the electronic enhancements off-line on a personal web browser.
