The novel Pinocchio was first serialised in the children's magazine from Rome, Giornale per i bambini, under the direction of Ferdinando Martini: the first instalment appeared on 7 July 1881, and the last one on 25 January 1883. Pinocchio was published as a book in the same year, 1883, probably in a very small print run, and at least twelve reprints appeared during the first year of publication. Enrico Mazzanti (1852-1893) was responsible for the everlasting black-and-white illustrations. The success was enormous, with countless editions and translations into more than 260 languages. Collodi's masterpiece continues to be cherished to this day and has been the subject of numerous adaptations, including popular versions by Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg, who used the story for the film A.I. (2001). The work was first translated into English in 1892 by M. A. Murray, whose version – The Story of a Puppet or The Adventures of Pinocchio – was published in the same year in London as well as in New York, supplemented with thirty seven of Mazzanti's illustrations. In 1904 the first American illustrated edition was published, thanks to the work of Walter S. Cramp and Charles Copeland (Pinocchio: the Adventures of a Marionette, Boston, Ginn e Co.). "Almost nothing else in children's literature equals Pinocchio for wildness of invention" (Carpenter-Prichard, Oxford Companion to Children's Literature, p. 462).Parenti, Rarità bibliografiche dell'Ottocento, pp. 148-153 ("E' questo uno dei pezzi più rari, se non il più raro senz'altro, dell'Ottocento italiano"); H.

Raccolgono l intero «Pinocchio», nello specifico pubblicato nei seguenti fascicoli: Anno I, nn. 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 11, 16, 17; Anno II, nn. 7-12, 18-22, 47, 48, 50-52; Anno III, nn. 3, 4. Esemplari complessivamente in ottime condizioni (leggere fioriture su pochissimi fascicoli, qualche antico intervento di restauro), molto freschi. La nascita del mito di Pinocchio avvenne in un freddo giorno di dicembre del 1880: dopo «una nottataccia di sfortuna più cocciuta del solito» (Parenti, p. 140) Carlo Lorenzini, in arte Carlo Collodi, scrittore richiesto e affermato, ma col vizio del gioco e sempre in bolletta, decise di cedere alle lusinghe dell amico Guido Biagi, che si accingeva ad allestire il «Giornale per i bambini» raccogliendo contributori: «Ti mando questa bambinata aveva scritto Collodi a Biagi, spedendogli i primi tre capitoli fanne quel che ti pare; ma se la stampi pagamela bene per farmi venire la voglia di continuare» (si cita da Castellani Pollidori, p. XIV). E così, di lì a qualche mese, nello specifico il 7 luglio 1881, uscì il primo numero del «Giornale per i bambini», che alle pp. 3 e 4 stampava i primi due capitoli della «Storia di un burattino», nucleo fondante del più importante romanzo italiano per l infanzia. Con quell incipit meraviglioso, rimasto nella storia della letteratura italiana: «C era una volta. Un re! diranno subito i miei piccoli lettori. No, ragazzi, avete sbagliato. C era una volta un pezzo di legno». -- Le vicende editoriali che portarono alla pubblicazione dell intero romanzo sulle pagine del «Giornale» furono tutt altro che lineari. Per quanto Collodi fosse pagato profumatamente (molto più di tutti gli altri collaboratori), non prese per nulla sul serio l impegno con Biagi: tra ritardi, continui solleciti del direttore, ma anche e addirittura dei bambini, che nella «Posta al giornale» invocavano la rapida continuazione delle avventure, la pubblicazione si protrasse per oltre due anni: dal 7 luglio 1881 al 27 ottobre 1881, con molte interruzioni, uscì la prima parte intitolata «Storia di un burattino», che si conclude con l impiccagione del protagonista; dal 16 febbraio 1882 al 25 gennaio 1883, ancora una volta a singhiozzo, fu stampata la seconda, sotto il nome «Avventure di Pinocchio». -- E tuttavia, è forse proprio in virtù di una modalità di scrittura non usuale, di un approccio altro rispetto alla forma libro e anche di una noncuranza all esito finale del romanzo, che poté nascere il grande capolavoro di «Pinocchio»: «c è da chiedersi che cosa sarebbe stato un "Pinocchio" scritto in altre condizioni, nato ad esempio in forma di libro e non di racconto a puntate. C è da chiedersi se la tensione straordinaria che rende il racconto così vivido e zampillante quasi in ogni sua parte non tragga origine proprio dal fatto che esso è stato composto ed offerto al pubblico in porzioni staccate, in ciascuna delle quali dovevano rinnovarsi la felicità dell invenzione, la magia della sorpresa e possibilmente la sospensione nel finale» (Castellani Pollidori, p. XVII). Bibl. M. Parenti, Rarità bibliografiche dell Ottocento italiano, vol. I, pp. 148-152. O. Castellani Pollidori (a cura di), C. Collodi, Pinocchio.

Zustand: Very good plus. First edition of PINOCCHIO in English, the rare American issue, simultaneous with the British and bound in the U.S. from British sheets. After a career in journalism, Collodi turned to children's literature, first translating a collection of Perrault's fairy tales into Italian. Soon he would conceive of a distinctly Italian fairy tale, complex and fantastical: "Its lessons are simple, but it is not a simplistic text" (Wunderlich & Morrissey). A shorter version of the story first appeared serially in a children's magazine in Italy from July 7, 1881 to January 1883 and was first published in its full-length book form in Italy in 1883. This first edition in English is charmingly illustrated by Enrico Mazzanti, the illustrator of the Italian 1883 edition. "Mary Alice Murray's translation has stood the test of time [.] It faithfully conveys the directness, ironic humour, and pathos of the original as Collodi leads Pinocchio through the twists and turns of his captivating story" (Oxford History). A title in the Children's Library, this Cassell imprint is hard to find. 16mo. 6.25'' x 4''. Original decorative cloth with blue design repeated on edges. Illustrated by E. Mazzanti (incorrectly printed as "C. Mazzanti"). [8], 232 pages. The Bradley Martin copy with Mildred Greenhill's bookplate. Cloth age toned - though less than usual; tiny stain on edge of title, small inner hinge mend, else really a nice copy.

The film soon became the first animated feature to win a competitive Academy Award â " winning two for Best Music, Original Score and for Best Music, Original Song for "When You Wish Upon a Star".

Almost nothing else in children's literature equals Pinocchio for wildness of invention" (Humphrey Carpenter and Mari Prichard: The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature). AUTHOR BIOG: Carlo Lorenzini, better known by the pen name Carlo Collodi 24 November 1826 ? 26 October 1890), was a children's writer born in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and writer of the world-renowned fairy tale novel The Adventures of Pinocchio. It is considered a canonical piece of children's literature and has inspired hundreds of new editions, stage plays, merchandising and movies, such as Walt Disney's iconic animated version and commonplace ideas such as a liar's long nose. According to extensive research done by the Fondazione Nazionale Carlo Collodi in late 1990s and based on UNESCO sources, it has been adapted in over 260 languages worldwide. That makes it the most translated non-religious book in the world, and one of the best-selling books ever published. According to Francelia Butler, it remains "the most widely read book in the world after the Bible".

Zustand: Near Fine. First American edition. Published simultaneously with the British Unwin edition, using the same sheets, but with a canceled title page. Part of the Children's Library Series.

Originally appearing in an Italian children's magazine in 1881, La Storia di un Burattino was more than an amusing, yet dark, tale for Italian children. Written by the political activist, Carlo Collodi, the story of Pinocchio was meant to aide in the reunification of Italy after the Napoleonic Wars had splintered the Italian states and devastated any sense of national identity. With the struggle to rebuild the Italian nation at hand, Collodi, worked to translate and create educational children's literature to create a vision of unification for the people. His story of Pinocchio was quite unlike the sanitized Disney version that most children grew up watching. The original story depicts an unsympathetic "rogue" in the carpenter, Geppetto, who defied his father's wishes, eschewed education, and fell easily into temptation by the fox and the cat. And, spoiler alert, it ended with Pinocchio's death at the hand of his tempters, providing a warning to those children who were not obedient to their parents or striving towards good moral behavior. When the stories were compiled and published as a book in 1883, titled Le avventure di Pinocchio, they were given a more upbeat ending, where Pinocchio realizes his wrongdoings, corrects his behavior, and ultimately transforms into a real boy. Due to the story's success in Italy, Mary Alice Murray translated this first English edition of the story in 1892. "Almost nothing else in children's literature equals Pinocchio for wildness of invention" (Humphrey Carpenter & Mari Prichard: The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature). Near Fine.

Zustand: Very good plus. Early Boston piracy of Collodi's fairy tale, published without attribution to the author or the translator of the first US edition - but also the first known version published in the US with color plates. Publisher Jordan Marsh claimed the title of this publication was simply meant to capitalize on the success of ALICE's ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND - and certainly such a marketing ploy was not uncommon, then or now. However, Wunderlich and Morrissey posit the title was "actually fabricated to conceal the fraud: the book had been stolen, and this new name implied an entirely different work." Indeed, a quick glance leads the casual observer to believe it's a sequel to the original, while in fact the text is identical to the STORY OF A PUPPET, the Fisher Unwin/Cassell first edition in English of the PINOCCHIO (with some minor modifications in format and some changed illustrations). This piracy was first published in 1898; the present 1899 edition was the first to contain color plates. 7.25'' x 4.75''. Original green pictorial cloth stamped in black and white with anthropomorphized insect design, lettered in gilt. Introduction by Hezekiah Butterworth. Illustrated by Quentin with 4 full-page color plates; Enrico Mazzanti's black-and-white in-text illustrations also reprinted without attribution. 212 pages. Small bookplate on front pastedown. Spine faded.

Rilegato. Zustand: molto buono. prima edizione. Firenze, Casa edtrice R. Franceschini, 1943. In-8° grande (25 cm x 17 cm). Pp. 95, (4) di pubblicità editoriale.

Un paio di insignificanti consolidamenti al margine interno bianco di 2 pp., peraltro esemplare con tutte le tavole animate perfettamente funzionanti, in stato di conservazione molto buono. Prima rara edizione graficamente molto curata, e primo titolo della serie Grandi Album, di questo albo delle "Avventure" del famoso burattino di Collodi stampate in edizione illustrata con i disegni di Attilio Mussino e 8 tavole movibili a colori, tutte perfettamente funzionanti. Questa edizione ha coinvolto numerosi professionisti del settore tipografico in un importante sforzo editoriale. Ciò è testimoniato dal Colophon che ne indica ben otto, tra stampatori, raccoglitori, tecnici ecc. che collaborarono con Franceschini nel 1942 alla realizzazione di questa magnifica edizione. Nato a Torino nel 1878, Mussino collaborò sin da studente a giornali satirici come La Luna e Il Fischietto. Collaboratore del "Corriere dei Piccoli", fu apprezzatissimo autore di fumetti ed illustratore di volumi, ambito nel quale il "Pinocchio" resta indubbiamente il suo capolavoro in cui l' Artista compose nuove illustrazioni, su indicazione del tipografo, per poter creare figure mobili. Mori' a Cuneo nel 1954. "Dalle quaresimali vignette al tripudio cromatico della piena pagina, l'interpretazione di Mussino, con l'uso di sequenze che guardano al neonato cinema d'animazione e un segno influenzato dalla grafica europea, costituisce una svolta nell'iconografia di Pinocchio" (P. Pallottino, "Un secolo con un palmo di naso", in "Portfolio illustratori", anno II, 3).

Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. First edition. 12mo. 212pp. Four color plates by René Quentin. Pictorial cloth. Spine sunned else a fine copy. Pinocchio is presented here in the first US edition with colored plates but a piracy of the original with no attribution to Collodi. Even the title was changed to suggest a different story but, it is indeed the familiar tale first published in English six years earlier. It has been suggested that the title was changed not only to conceal the piracy but also to capitalize on the popularity of Alice in Wonderland. The illustrations are dated 1899. .
