Cozy Corner Italian Style - La Valigetta delle Meraviglie

The second printing of the Italian version of the Cozy Corner book is from 1955, and was part of a boxed set of books called La Valigetta Delle Meraviglie which loosely translates to The Suitcase of Wonders.

It is an appropriate name as the set of six books was collected in what looks like an old fashioned suitcase, complete with applied "travel" stickers featuring characters from each book.

The books in the set are Snow White, Bambi, The Three Caballeros, Cinderella, Alice, and Peter Pan. The contents of this second printing are identical to the first printing, with one addition. Our old friend Dinah makes an appearance on the last page, the copyright page. Yet one more example in support of my argument about the Dinah Goebel, and discussed in excruciating detail here.
