This exquisite gift edition of the beloved classic children's book includes the original English translation by Katherine Woods, alongside vibrant illustrations. The narrative begins when a pilot, stranded in a vast desert, awakens one day to find a peculiar young boy before him, requesting, "Please, draw me a sheep."

Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote this timeless narrative during a two-year exile in the United States, away from war-torn France. Tragically, he vanished over the Mediterranean in 1944, executing a reconnaissance mission for the French air force. Known globally as the creator of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery's literary legacy includes several other classic works. Though Katherine Woods's translation was followed by others, her version is revered by many and is often viewed as the quintessential English rendition, adeptly conveying the charm and allure of Saint-Exupery's original prose.
