Copy a book in CW!

Would you like to read a book? Better, would you like to listen to it? Even better, would you like to listen to it in Morse code? You are in the right place...

Here you are a "The adventures of Pinocchio". I chose this book because the story is well known by almost everybody (which will help, I suppose), it is written in a simple language, it's a masterpiece of literature for children but adults like it even more, there are several chapters but all of them are rather short and at the beginning of each chapter there is a summary of what the chapter will talk about. I think that this is the ideal book to practice listening Mose code.

Mind that some punctuation characters, seldom used in normal chats in CW, are used. I suggest that, at least, you take a look at the International Morse code document.
