When Hera, immortal goddess and daughter of the ancient Titan Cronus,
helps her brother Zeus to overthrow their tyrannical father, she dreams
of ruling at his side.
As they establish their reign on Mount Olympus, Hera suspects that Zeus
might be just as ruthless and cruel as the father they betrayed.
She was always born to rule, but must she lose herself in perpetuating
this cycle of violence and cruelty? Or can she find a way to forge a
better world?
Often portrayed as the jealous wife or the wicked stepmother, this
retelling captures the many sides of Hera, vengeful when she needs to
be but also compassionate and most importantly, an all-powerful queen
to the gods.
Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults
alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful 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. Antoine de Saint-Exupery (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-Exupery 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-Exupery 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-Exupery's storytelling.

The Little Prince is a modern fable, and for readers far and wide
both the title and the work have exerted a pull far in excess of
the book's brevity. Written and published first by Antoine de
St-Exupery in 1943, only a year before his plane disappeared on a
reconnaissance flight, it is one of the world's most widely
translated books, enjoyed by adults and children alike. In the
meeting of the narrator who has ditched his plane in the Sahara
desert, and the little prince, who has dropped there through time
and space from his tiny asteroid, comes an intersection of two
worlds, the one governed by the laws of nature, and the other
determined only by the limits of imagination. The world of the
imagination wins hands down, with the concerns of the adult world
often shown to be lamentably silly as seen through the eyes of the
little prince. While adult readers can find deep meanings in his
various encounters, they can also be charmed back to childhood by
this wise but innocent infant. This popular translation contains
the author's own delightful illustrations, bringing to visual life
the small being at the tale's heart, and a world of fantasy far
removed from any quotidian reality. It is also a sort of love
story, in which two frail beings, the downed pilot and the
wandering infant-prince who has left behind all he knows, share
their short time together isolated from humanity and finding
sustenance in each other. This is a book which creates a unique
relationship with each reader, whether child or adult.
