The adventures of Pinoccio
by Carlo Collodi
Newly translated by Pietha de Voogd.
With more than 120 drawings made by me.
Beautiful book design by Daphne de Vries en Anouk de l'Ecluse
from Bureau Merkwaardig.
Published by Novecento.
Everybody knows Pinocchio, the wooden puppet with his nose that gets longer when he lies. This new translation of Carlo Collodi's 1881 masterpiece has exactly the pace, irony and hilarity of the original work.
Our adorable marionette faces tricks and treachery, a hanging, a carriage lined with canary feathers, a crazy circus director, a living dead girl with blue hair, boys turning into donkeys, a shark with asthma, and so on and so forth.
Collodi paints a sometimes ruthless, but also hopeful picture of human nature.

How were the illustrations made?
Six times a look behind the scenes
The chapters in Pinocchio are not very long, but there’s always something happening and it was great fun to make sketches of all the adventures.
The sketching process landed me with a huge pile of drawings which forced me to take difficult choices: which ones should I use and which ones not? Very quickly it became clear to me that I just wanted to use lots and lots of drawings for the book.
I’ll show you here how some of these drawings were made and also explain something about the choices that are made during the process.
