I have a 1946 print of this book in French that's been in my family for 3 generations (now 4 with my kids).

What more can I say...


You did a great job capturing the little prince.

Kewl vig, Athos.

Is that a custom hairpiece? I thought it was this at first, but I can see now that it isn't.

Say it "ESS-MICK-GIN-ISS", with a hard "G", as in "get".

It's Willie Scotts hair from the Shanghai-chase set.

Ah, thanks, I hadn't seen that set (well, not closely, anyway).

When I first saw this title, I though a french Member initiated this topic, so I won't be the only one here. :mrgreen:
Happy to see this book is known and perhaps reknown elsewhere than in french countries, so many good things are not going over our boundaries.
Very well done, as far as I remember, St Exupery himself drew these illustrations.

Very nice representation of the book. I read this in French class this year, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating this vig. :wink:

I'd never heard of that book before; I guess it shows my level of culture. It does resemble the cover art on Wikipedia, so good job there, Steve.
