"The magical intersection of two worlds when the little prince visiting from his tiny asteroid meets the narrator who has ditched his plane in the Sahara Desert."

The book, The Little Prince, is one of the best-selling and most translated books in history. It sits in the publisher, Wordsworth Editions' Heritage Collection, has a sewn binding and is quarter bound in linen cloth with an elegant linen-grained paper cover design.

The original illustrations were by the book's author, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and this cover design is based on 'Marigold' by William Morris. This edition was translated by Irene Testot-Ferry in 2024.

The designs extend to patterned endpapers and pages gilded in metallic gold. There are also silk ribbon bookmarks. 

This edition of The Little Prince has 139 pages carefully set out for comfortable reading.

Note the Wordsworth Editions books are smaller than the Peter Pauper Press books. The Little Prince measures 18.5 cm x 13.5 cm.
