Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults
alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful gift collection of quotes
from the original translation by Katherine Woods, featuring
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…’ The Little Prince has been capturing the hearts of
readers around the world since its publication in 1943 – this new
collection of quotes features favourite words of wisdom from
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s lyrical, whimsical text. Quotes are
drawn from the original translation by Katherine Woods, a favourite
with fans. With subjects covering childhood, sorrow, friendship,
love and more, this collection has something for everyone.
Featuring original colour illustrations by the author. Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The
Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed
exile from occupied France. A year after the book’s publication
in 1943, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean while
flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best
known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The
Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry wrote several other books that have
also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods
(1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little
Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English
translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and
is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her
poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of
Saint-Exupéry’s storytelling.
