Comments: Originally issued in Italy under the title Le Avventure di Pinocchio in 1883, the story was translated into English and published in London under the title The Story of a Puppet, or the Adventures of Pinocchio. this volume's new title was chosen because of the immense popularity of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The first American edition was published in 1898, and did not have color plates.This copy (the plates are dated 1899, and there are two title pages with two separate publishers) is the first American edition of Pinocchio with color illustrations.
