Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. Richard Howard's new translation of the beloved classic-published to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's birth-beautifully reflects Saint-Exupéry's unique and gifted style.

I'v got a very very old version

I borrowed "The little prince" version of 1944 from library. It's the first version in English. When looking through it, I am extremely surprised to find that there's no IDSN number. So, I think I'd better not add it to Douban.net to confuse other people. But really really want you guys to know there IS such an old and amazing version of our darling "Little Prince".
