===Pilot Productions authorised complete English-language edition (2013 onwards)===

The Guareschi family only discovered after 1980 that the original English language publishers made unauthorised cuts in stories, only publishing 132 of the original 347 Italian stories. After an approach from Piers Dudgeon of Pilot Productions, the family authorised him to publish uncut translations into English of all the original 347 stories.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Guareschi|first1=Giovanni|title=The Complete Little World of Don Camillo, ''Biographical Afterword by Piers Dudgeon'', pp. 240-241|date=2013|publisher=Pilot Productions|isbn=978-1900064071|location=Sawdon, North Yorkshire}}</ref> The copyright is vested in the family, and the books published so far are:
