Book Synopsis
Experience The Little Prince like never before in this luxe, foil-stamped edition featuring more than 100 new illustrations by internationally-renowned Studio MinaLima paired with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's original poetic text. This cherished classic text comes to life with 8 pop-of-the-page interactive elements, like sliding tabs, foldouts, spinners, embossing, and more.
MinaLima, the design studio best known for creating the graphic universe of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, takes readers on an ever more fantastic journey from planet to desert, from watering the prince's blossoming rose to feeling the embrace of the snake. This reimagination of the world-famous tale with stunning paper-engineered inserts will have both children and adults alike dreaming in a whole new way.
Eight exclusive interactive elements include:
- a three-sided folded elephant sketch attached to the page;a fold out that reveals three sheep in a box tucked into the pilot's shirt pocket;an embossed illustration of the little prince with flaps that open his cape to reveal his home planet, spinning on a rivet, along with a fold out metallic crown that slots into the page;a blossoming flower with rotating petals that part to reveal its face;a golden calendar dial with rotating hands to change the time, date, and face of the sun;a sliding tabbed illustration of a snake that creates an optical illusion of it being bejeweled;a theater style full-spread pop out that shows the little prince and the fox;a folded, die-cut card of the little prince and the pilot at sunset under golden stars
The Little Prince has enchanted readers across the world. Studio MinaLima continues that tradition with this elegant edition.
Review Quotes
"A lovely story. .. which covers a poetic, yearning philosophy--not the sort of fable that can be tacked down neatly at its four corners but rather reflections on what are real matters of consequence." -- New York Times Book Review
