The American edition appeared before the French or English editions and is essentially the only way to obtain a signed edition of this book as the author was assigned to fly with the French Free Air Force shortly before publication and went missing about a year later while on a mission. This special issue of one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century is, consequently, one of the most desired limited editions and does not come often upon the marketplace. THE LITTLE PRINCE is both the most-read and most-translated book in the French language and was voted the best book of the 20th century in France.

The Little Prince, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is a poignant tale of love and loss, centered around a young prince who travels from planet to planet, exploring themes of loneliness, friendship, and the essence of life. It remains a timeless classic cherished by readers of all ages.
