The background of Pinocchio

Like I said in the last blog, Most of the people reading this have heard the story of Pinocchio, But most people only know the disney version of the story wich was only based off of the original version ,"The Story of a Puppet", wich was just a weekly installment in "Childrens Magazine" in Italy, and was writen by Carlo Collodi. These installments started in July, 7, 1881 and abruptly broke off months later on Ch. XVI. There was a grate outrage at this until the installments picked back up where they left off ,on Febuary, 16, 1882, but under the name "Pinocchio's Adventures". The installments kept on coming at a steady rate after they picked up again, until the ending was published January,1883. In Febuary of that year "Pinocchio's Advetures" was published as an entire book.
By 1891 it had been relesed in Britan as a childrens book, and by 1898 it made its first appearence in America, but it wasn't until 1904 that it was writen and translated by americans, then published. Ever since then Disney's version of "Pinocchio" has been huge in America, and later passed to other countries.
