1943 THE LITTLE PRINCE Antoine De Saint -Exupery HC Archival Sleeve Dust Jacket

THE LITTLE PRINCE by Antoine De Saint -Exupery published by Harcourt, Brace & World in 1943.  The dust jacket shows foxing and it has been placed in a protective archival clear sleeve. The binding is sound and there aren't any obvious signs of inscriptions, marginalizations, or dog eared pages.

Le Petit Prince was banned in France until 1945 because Antoine de Saint-Exupery was exiled by the French government.  It was banned in schools and libraries in other parts of the world  because parents felt it was dark and frightening for children to read.  If you are a collector a banned books, this is a novel you want on your library shelf.
