作者简介

卡洛·科洛迪（Carlo Collodi）原名卡尔洛·洛伦齐尼，1826年11月24日出生在意大利托斯坎纳地区一个叫科洛迪的小镇。他的笔名便是由这个小镇的名称而来。科洛迪精通法文，曾翻译过法国贝罗的童话，为广大小读者所喜爱。

科洛迪一生中，曾写过许多短篇小说、随笔、评论，然而最著名的要数他写给孩子们看的童话故事，这些童话想像力丰富，人物形象栩栩如生，情节曲折动人，为他赢得了巨大的声誉。

主要作品有：《小手杖》（1876）、《小木片》（1878）、《小手杖漫游意大利》、《小手杖地理》、《小手杖文法》、《木偶奇遇记》、《眼睛和鼻子》（1881）、《快乐的故事》（1887），最后两部作品是《愉快的符号》和《讽刺杂谈》（1892）。
