Pollyanna

Eleanor H. Porter · L. C. Page & Company (Boston) · 1913

US L. C. Page & Company, Boston, 1913 is the true first; the census claim is confirmed. No UK or other-language edition precedes it — Page was the originating publisher. The trap here is terminological rather than geographic: every one of Page's forty-seven impressions through January 1920 is the "first edition" in the strict bibliographical sense (one setting of type), so dealer copy reading "first edition" routinely describes a later impression. Only the stated February 1913 first impression is the first printing.
