"The Collector's Colour Library" takes the favourite illustrated titles of "The Collector's Library" and presents them in full colour. Original colour illustrations are faithfully reproduced, and where illustrations and decorations were originally black and white they 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. St Exupery's original illustrations have had their colours carefully enhanced by Barbara Frith.

About the Author
Antoine de St Exupery, born in Lyon on 29 June 1900, was a French writer and aviator. He is best remembered for his novella 'The Little Prince', and for his books about aviation adventures, Including 'Night Flight' (1931) and 'Wind, Sand and Stars' (1939. In 1921 he began his military service and trained as a pilot. He became one of the pioneers of international postal flight. At the outbreak of the Second World War he joined the French Air Force flying reconnaissance missions until the Armistice with Germany. Following a spell writing in the United States, he joined the Free French Forces. He went on a mission to collect information on German troop movements in the Rhone valley on 31 July 1944 and he was never seen again. His aeroplane disappeared. It was assumed that he was shot down over the Mediterranean Sea. An unidentified body wearing French colours was found several days later and buried in Carqueiranne that September.

I first read this book when I was a boy and I really enjoyed it. Now, after many years I decided to read it again and I was really shocked. I didn't realise how many 'hidden' things the book has when I read it before. They are not optimistic things, I don't know, I wouldn't like my child to read it. Try for yourself anyway.
