Review Quotes:
Sherberg has gathered an array of scholars in various disciplines to approach Collodi's famous work from the multiple perspectives the text itself demands. The result is a vast display of essays that will be useful in a large variety of college class settings. --Myriam Swennen Ruthenberg, Florida Atlantic University
