I may read the story for myself, but I’ll track down a book based on the Disney movie instead. He dies and “Collodi actually intended that to be the end of his tale, but public outcry from fans got him to return to the story and bring the puppet boy back to life.” ( src)

In an awful twist, later on in the novel Pinocchio is caught and hung by the cat and the fox. but unfortunately it struck him exactly on the head, so that the poor Cricket had scarcely breath to cry “Cri-cri-cri!” and then he remained dried up and flattened against the wall. (Apparently he reappears alive at the end of the story but it’s not explained how) I’ve only got to chapter 6 of the story but so far Geppetto is in gaol for child(puppet) abuse and Pinocchio has killed Jiminy Cricket (Talking Cricket in the story) with a mallet to the head. I never saw the original Walt Disney cartoon but I’m familiar with the characters and the story. He watched a few videos on Youtube of the Disney classic and since I knew the original would be available as a Kindle download I offered to read him a few chapters before going to bed. My son Adam has taken an interest in Pinocchio after receiving a little wooden toy that looks similar to the well known character.
