Read the original and have a few old copies of old illustrated versions, pre-Disney
supposed to be a morality tale, resonates with "the Golden Ass" as famous "novel" allegedly from the ancient world i.e. "ROME"
So the story comes from Italy
heavy masonic symbolism
the Great Goddess saves the wandering hero in "The Golden Ass"- who had been turned into a donkey by a witch's spell and the pinnochio book features a donkey at the end just as the ancient book; plain reference to the "Golden Ass"
fairy turns puppett into a real boy - when he becomes a real human being, with compassion , etc.
when he starts to help his old father.
it's roots are older than 19th c.
plainly feature child abduction as a warning, fear tactic to "be good" or else; look what might happen
it's filled with Masonic references to initiation.
