A rediscovered gem from Italian children literature, written by the author of Pinocchio, translated and expanded by Alessandro Gallenzi and illustrated by Axel Scheffler (the illustrator of the Gruffalo). Collodi wrote this story immediately after Pinocchio, and the little monkeys adventures present clear similarities, both in terms of themes and characters, with his more celebrated masterpiece.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPipi isnt like his four brothers or the other young monkeys living in the forest of Hullabaloo: he has bright-pink fur, a mischievous character and a rebellious streak that lands him into all sorts of scrapes. In this story, an expanded version of Collodis original tale, we see him lose his tail to an ancient crocodile, end up as a valet to a young master, fall into the hands of flying bandits and become emperor of a tribe of apes.\r\n\r\nCollodi wrote this story immediately after Pinocchio, and the little monkeys adventures present clear similarities, both in terms of themes and characters, with his more celebrated masterpiece. This rediscovered gem of Italian literature, beautifully illustrated by Axel Scheffler and preserving all of Collodis trademark wit and linguistic crispness, will delight and enthral a new generation of children.
