“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye": Antoine Saint-Exupery’s The Little Prince

First edition of the Harcourt edition of Saint-Exupery's masterpiece. Small quarto, original salmon cloth, illustrated. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. A superior example.

The Little Prince has something of Hans Christian Andersen in it, something of Lewis Carroll, and even, it may perhaps be said, a bit of John Bunyan. Saint-Exupery's lyrical treasure has entered children’s literature, in the manner of quite a few other such hard-to-define works in the preceding centuries" (Pierpont Morgan Library).
