About the author
Eugenio Cherubini was an Italian author associated with children's literature. Surviving catalog and library records are sparse, but they consistently link him to Pinocchio in Affrica—published in Italian and later translated into English as Pinocchio in Africa by Angelo Patri.
That book is the work most clearly tied to his name in major public-domain and library sources, including Project Gutenberg and The Online Books Page. It reimagines Carlo Collodi's famous puppet in a new setting and helped keep the world of Pinocchio alive for another generation of young readers.
Because reliable biographical material about Cherubini is limited, many personal details about his life are not easy to confirm from widely available sources. What can be said with confidence is that his name endures through this adventurous sequel and its place in the long afterlife of the Pinocchio story.
