This exceptional volume celebrates one of the greatest heroes in world cultural heritage: the Little Prince.

Created in conjunction with some of the story's greatest connoisseurs, this official visual dictionary presents every aspect of The Little Prince: a behind-the-scenes look at the writing of the tale and its publication; the secrets of an unpublished chapter; rare illustrations by the author; photographs of the original manuscript; a guide to all the main characters, settings, and objects, and more.

This is the story of a timeless tale for readers both young and old; it is the chronicle of a philosophical fable that has marked--and changed--the lives of generations of enthusiastic readers; it is the saga of a cult classic, second only to the Bible as the world's bestselling book.

This official album also includes-for the very first time-the numerous tributes paid to this admirable story, including films and animated cartoon series, musicals, graphic novels, and merchandising.
