An elegant new gift edition of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's timeless classic, with foil-stamped effects and a paper-over-board case, featuring the author's beautiful illustrations restored to match their original detail and color, and a new foreword by Saint-Exupery's Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, Stacy Schiff

All grown-ups were once children--although few of them remember it.

"In eighty-four crystalline pages, the Little Prince will learn the meaning of the word 'ephemeral' while--thanks to a wise fox--we will edge just a little closer to glimpsing the eternal." -Stacy Schiff, from the introduction

A pilot crashes his plane in the Sahara Desert. There, far away from civilization, he meets The Little Prince, a strange young boy who left his solitary life on a distant asteroid and traveled to the disenchanted adult world. What unfolds is an unforgettable adventure through the night sky, and a timeless meditation on the power of seeing the world with wonder and clarity.

Review Quotes

"A lovely story. .. which covers a poetic, yearning philosophy--not the sort of fable that can be tacked down neatly at its four corners but rather reflections on what are real matters of consequence." -- New York Times Book Review
