    The Little Prince

    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

    With an Afterword by David Stuart Davies


    This edition of a favourite and much-loved title, previously illustrated in black and white, presents the illustrations in full colour throughout. Original illustrations are faithfully reproduced, and have been sensitively coloured by Barbara Frith, one of Britain’s most accomplished colourists.


    The Little Prince is a wonderful and remarkable book which will enchant both children and adults alike. It is a strange and wonderful parable for all ages, championing the beauty and wisdom of childhood which fades when one becomes ‘a grown up’. This is a specially commissioned new translation by Ros and Chloe Schwarz.


    The Collector’s Library restores traditional visual and tactile pleasures to the joy of reading.

    Each book is designed to appeal to the book-lover; in every case the type is re-set, illustrations, where appropriate, are selected from sources as close to the period of the book as possible, and the books are printed on high-quality paper, section-sewn and bound in real cloth. Each book has endpapers, a satin ribbon marker, head and tailbands and gilt edges. They represent the marriage of great literature to high aesthetic and craft standards, using the technology of the 21st century to produce something classic and at the same time unmistakeably modern.


    Their handy size means that they can be slipped into the pocket, handbag or briefcase, and their robust manufacture makes them ideal travelling companions as well as comfortable bedside reads at very affordable prices.


    ‘I cannot imagine a more heavenly present; they are so beautifully produced and illustrated.’

    Jilly Cooper, novelist


    ‘It is delicious to see gilt edges again. ... They are far more pocket-sized than any paperback.’

    Joanna Trollope, novelist
