(Shaped Book)

Pinocchio. Al Campo dei Miracoli.

Collodi, C.

Corbella, F. (illus.)

Milan: Editrice Vecchi, (c. 1950). Octavo. (12)pp. Color illustrations throughout depict the story of Pinnochio. The narrative is told in Italian verse at the bottom of each page. A shape-book, bound in pictorial and lively wrappers cut in the silhouette of Pinocchio, who carries a three-dimensional toy book. This gimmick was the hallmark of Editrice Vecchi's "Piccolo Fiore" series. Mild exterior soiling, else fine. A bright sliver of midcentury Italian children's publishing. Item #31360
