These easy-to-read retellings, enhanced by exciting, richly colourful illustrations, faithfully capture all the magic of the original stories.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. 'But I am not like other boys! I always tell the truth.' The story of Pinocchio has remained one of the best-loved children's tales for over a century. However, the original 1883 novel about the adventures of the mischievous marionette on his quest to become a real boy began as a sophisticated story for both adults and children, and includes political satire, slapstick humour and questions about the role of tradition and society. From the moment Geppetto decides to carve himself a son from a magical piece of wood, the tale lurches from one fantastical episode to another, in one of the most enchanting fables of all time.

Designed for children learning to read, this book retells "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in lively, natural language to help children develop the confidence to read alone. Level Four is suitable for children who are ready to read longer stories with a wider vocabulary.
