The story of "The Little Prince" is a classic that everyone is too familiar with. The illustrations in this edition are drawn by Korean illustrator Kim Minji and published in 2007 by Core Culture.

The warm, healing and fresh watercolor style of Kim Minji's work is particularly impressive! In addition to "The Little Prince", there is also the same series of works "Alice in Wonderland", and a collection of personal works published by Gaia "Lunavis, a traveler flying in the sky". It just happened that they were all collected and unpacked together, and the picture books seemed to be out of print.

The book is a softcover, and what I find interesting is that the front and back covers, the inside cover, and the sides of the book all feature the same image XD. Moreover, the cover image is actually the scene of the Little Prince talking to the snake, without any classic elements like the little fox or the rose.

If you want to say seriously in the content part, the compactness of the illustrations is far less than the later published "Alice in Wonderland", most of them are pure white pages with only text, interspersed with spreads or single-page illustrations from time to time. As the plot progresses, separate small patterns occasionally appear next to the text.

None of the illustrations of this "The Little Prince" are included in the collection "Lunavis, a traveler flying in the sky", so if you like Kim Minji's work, I recommend it~

Relive the story of the little prince, and he seems to have a different understanding of his mind. It is indeed an immortal classic.

The really important things are invisible to the eyes.

Official Introduction

Since its publication in 1943, the sales volume has exceeded 100 million copies.
It is hailed as a book whose reading rate is second only to that of the Bible in history.
With translations in 102 languages around the world, it is the legal document with the most translations.

In this fascinating fable, the author uses his original technique to tell the story of his encounter with a very special "little man". This "little man" lives on a planet no bigger than a house.

Little by little, we know this little man—the little prince, and know why he started this journey, and how he came to earth. That is, on the earth, the last stop of his journey, the little prince met a fox, so as to understand the most important mystery of life.
