Status: Lost
Geronimo Stilton is an Italian series of children's books written by Elisabetta Dami. The series featured the title character, a mouse possibly inspired by Sherlock Holmes but not really going on detective adventures. Instead, he is going on some adventures with his family and describing them in the books like a memoir. Since it's rise into popularity, it has developed several spin-offs in which some are only found in Italy and Europe alone. It first entered the English speaking world with two eBooks published in 2000 by CyberRead. Before they were lost, they were considered the first ever eBooks produced from Italy.[1]
Geronimo Stilton's Illustrated Tails
The first book in the series which came out in the year 2000. It became very popular and both eBooks featured content totally separate from the other books and other related media. However, almost no information about the plot is found. By the year 2001, this was the fifth most popular book on CyberRead's eBookstore.[2] Only the ISBN of this book is known.[1]
Geronimo Stilton's Humorous Tails with the Secret Portrait Gallery
The second and last book of the series. The year it was released is currently unknown as there is no archived page from CyberRead (the site became a blog later in 2004 and defunct in 2010). Very little information about it can be found on the Geronimo Stilton website (archived).
Availability
So far due to the eBooks being extremely obscure, almost no information can be found to this day. As of 2024, information about these books have reappeared on Open Library[3][4] but still there are no ways to obtain the eBooks so far and the amount of information is the same. Currently, a search for the lost media is going on social media, mainly Reddit.[5]
