Summary/Abstract: In the biographical note of the latest edition of Pinocchio by the Everyman publishing house, we learn that the creator of Pinocchio, Carlo Collodi, never had children (Collodi 2011:9). Any reader of this book will understand why. Collodi, apparently, did not like children. It seems that this animosity was especially directed at the boys. Every boy in Pinocchio is imbecile, disobedient, greedy, dirty. But none is worse than Pinocchio himself. Collodi describes him as a "wretched", "naughty" slobber, a klipan, a slob and a self-willed vagabond. "Poor boy!" he is mourned by his father, the old carpenter Geppetto. The first thing the magical doll does when it comes to life is to growl in Geppetto's face. Right after that, he steals a wig from a sad old man.
