"Pinocchio: The Runaway Puppet" by Ruskin Bond presents a charming retelling of the classic tale of the wooden puppet who longs to be a real boy. In this version, Pinocchio, created by the woodcarver Geppetto, embarks on unforgettable adventures filled with lessons about honesty, bravery, and the importance of family. As he navigates the challenges of the world, Pinocchio encounters various characters, including the wise fairy and the cunning fox, who help him learn valuable life lessons. With Bond's lyrical prose, the story captures the essence of childhood dreams, the journey of self-discovery, and the transformative power of love and redemption.
