Description

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, published in 1943 and written while the author was in exile, is one of the most widely read children’s books. The Morgan owns the original manuscript and art for it, and will display Saint-Exupéry’s watercolors and drawings to illuminate the creative process behind the story. They are accompanied by items used to translate and adapt the story for a broader audience.
