The Baron in the Trees

Italo Calvino · Random House (US) / Collins (UK) · 1959

First English translation of Il barone rampante (Einaudi, 1957). Both the US Random House and UK Collins editions are dated 1959 and appear essentially concurrent; precedence between them is not firmly established, so neither should be asserted as the sole true first without a copy-in-hand comparison.
