The Little Prince

Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince.

A beautiful slip-cased gift edition of this touching and wise classic children's book, with the original translation by Katherine Woods and full-colour illustrations.

A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see the most extraordinary little fellow standing before him. “‘Please…’ asks the stranger, ‘draw me a sheep…’”

And the pilot realises that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out a pencil and paper … and thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed the world forever for its readers.

This stunning new collector’s edition of the classic children’s book celebrates the original English translation of Saint-Exupéry’s work by Katherine Woods, with original colour illustrations that will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.
