Geronimo Stilton is a best-selling children's book series published by Edizioni Piemme of Milan,
Italy, since 2000. Scholastic Corporation has published the English version of the series since
February 2004. Although the series credits its title character as the author, the idea was originally
thought of by Elisabetta Dami.[1] On older novels, the copyright is issued to a pseudonym "Geronimo
Stilton"; this was changed on newer books. The books are intended for readers in the 612-year-old
age range.

Overview[edit]
In the series, the title character is a talking mouse who lives in New Mouse City on Mouse Island. A
best-selling author, Geronimo Stilton[2] works as a journalist and editor for the fictional
newspaper The Rodent's Gazette.
He has a younger sister named Thea Stilton,[3] a cousin named Trap Stilton,[3] and a favorite little
nephew, nine-year-old Benjamin Stilton.[3] Geronimo is a nervous, mild-mannered mouse who would
like nothing better than to live a quiet life, but he keeps getting involved in far-away adventures with
Thea, Trap, and Benjamin, and sometimes Aunt Sweetfur. The books are written as though they are
autobiographical adventure stories.
The series originated in Italy and has become the most popular children's book series in that country.

The books have been translated into 35 languages.
Papercutz obtained the rights to publish English translations of the graphic novels of Geronimo
Stilton. These retain some of the original names of the characters that were changed in the
storybooks translated by Scholastic. For example, the English translations of the graphic novels by
Papercutz continue to use the names "Patty Spring" and "Pandora", while the storybooks by
Scholastic changed these names to Petunia Pretty Paws and Bugsy Wugsy, respectively.
