Punishment or redemption: How will Pinocchio end?

The Anselm Society Book Club continues its adventure through the unabridged version of the 1883 classic novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio. If a board book or the Disney kid flick is your only experience of the little willful wooden guy, you’re in for a surprise!

Join us Saturday, June 18, 2022, at 6:30 PM at a new location in southwest Colorado Springs. as we finish Pinocchio.

The club is open to all, whether or not you've read the book. For information or the location, send a note to anita@anselmsociety.org. RSVPs are appreciated but not required. Bring a snack to share if you can!

Pinocchio can be found for free online in a variety of places, including Project Gutenberg.

Bonus Points: We’ll be getting a jump on the Pub Night the Anselm Society has planned in November around the theme of Subcreation, which will include a retelling of Pinocchio!
