Description: "Although Antoine de Saint Exupery has been well known for his artistic and literary talents ever since the publication of The Little Prince in 1943, it is less well known that ever since childhood he decorated his letters, notebooks, journals, diaries (and later his manuscripts) with small drawings, caricatures, cartoons and visual puzzles." "This anthology features the most beautiful and artful of these uncollected occasional writings of Saint Exupery from his juvenilia until his death. Covering his entire life, this anthology gives unprecedented glimpses into Saint Exupery's childhood, friendships and love affairs, travels and adventures, his fascination with the sky and experiences as a pilot for the postal service and as a fighter pilot, and his passion for the desert and for solitude." "With over 80 color facsimiles, this anthology invites the reader to rediscover the life and work of one of the twentieth century's most important writers through his drawings and manuscripts."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: "First published in France in 2003 by Éditions de le Martinière."--T.p. verso
