La "Storia di un burattino" è qui narrata con accento toscano (cosa che avrebbe fatto piacere allo stesso autore) e con viva partecipazione emotiva. Un classico per ragazzi che non delude mai, e che ci riporta alla mente personaggi indimenticabili, dal babbo Geppetto alla Fata dai capelli turchini, da Mangiafuoco al Gatto e la volpe.

"Mi piacciono i toscanismi della lingua di Collodi, adoro la sua voce e le voci dei suoi personaggi, che io provavo ad accennare quando leggevo il racconto ai figlioli prima di addormentarli. Le sue pagine sembrano fatte apposta per la lettura ad alta voce. La voce di Collodi è aspra, concreta, esatta, abrasiva. Ha una musica stupenda, ruvida, e a volte può essere languida e dolcissima, ma sempre accompagnata da un sorrisetto di beffa. Collodi vuole bene ai suoi personaggi, al suo protagonista, ma allo stesso tempo li prende in giro, li sfotte, li avvolge in una luce ironica"

It will be wonderful able to dance and do all kinds of tricks. With it I shall make my fortune. What do you think?” “Excellent idea you old fool!” said the tiny voice...
