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
edition of the classic children's book The Little Prince, includes
the classic English translation by Katherine Woods and original
colour illustrations which will capture the hearts of readers of
all ages. Featuring bonus non-fiction content, exploring the
history of The Little Prince, the real-life plane crash that
inspired the story, the life of the author and more! 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.

This book focuses on essential findings concerning emerging
practices of student learning through the teaching and learning
benefits of the electronic portfolio (ePortfolio) in a range of
disciplines at Australian universities. It explores the latest
research on ePortfolios, teaching quality, future research
directions for tertiary learning and teaching, institutional
agendas in higher education, and the role that the ePortfolios can
play in supporting improvements in pedagogic practice and student
outcomes. Included in these agendas is research into the
development of higher education through the technologising of
pedagogy, learner identities in discrete disciplines, and the
praxis of individual university teachers. The book covers accounts
of academic learning success and challenges across current higher
education subject areas. By presenting case study accounts of
ePortfolio use, it reveals the importance of defining and
documenting how we can meaningfully develop learner portfolios in
research, teaching and learning at Australian universities. With an
intentional research base, the book draws on work conducted inside
and outside Australia and highlights how the ePortfolio can help
tertiary staff prepare for the impact of a student-created
portfolio on teaching, learning, and subsequent academic
scholarship.
