In 1881, he sent a short episode in the life of a wooden puppet to a friend who edited a newspaper in Rome, wondering whether the editor would be interested in publishing this "bit of foolishness" in his children's section. Once, he translated some French fairy-tales so well that he was asked whether he would like to write some of his own. In the 1850s, Collodi began to have a variety of both fiction and non-fiction books published. The story's Italian language is peppered with Florentine dialect features, such as the protagonist's Florentine name.

It was a unique literary marriage of genres for its time. The setting of the story is the Tuscan area of Italy. That makes it among the most translated and widely read books ever written.The Adventures of Pinocchio is a story about an animated puppet, boys who turn into donkeys and other fairy tale devices. According to extensive research done by the Fondazione Nazionale Carlo Collodi in late 1990s and based on UNESCO sources, it has been adapted in over 240 languages worldwide. It is considered a canonical piece of children's literature and has inspired hundreds of new editions, stage plays, merchandising and movies, such as Walt Disney's iconic animated version and commonplace ideas such as a liar's long nose. It is about the mischievous adventures of an animated marionette named Pinocchio and his father, a poor woodcarver named Geppetto.
