Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Carlo Lorenzini was born in Florence in 1826, the eldest son of a cook and a servant, and was brought up in the hillside village of Collodi. He began his writing career as a journalist, writing under the pseudonym Carlo Collodi. In 1875 he began writing for children, adapting traditional tales and creating his own stories. When the first chapter of Pinocchio appeared in an Italian newspaper in July 1881 it was an immediate success. Carlo Collodi died in Florence in 1890.

Roberto Innocenti was born in 1940 in a small town near Florence. Never having attended art school, he went to Rome to work in an animation studio. Returning to Florence, he began designing books and illustrating film and theatre posters. The Jonathan Cape titles he has illustrated include The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman and Rose Blanche by Ian McEwan. He lives in Florence with his wife and daughter.
