The Little Prince #12

Inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's beloved masterpiece, this twelfth volume of The New Adventures carries the Little Prince to the Planet of Ludokaa — depicted on the cover as a sweeping medieval fortress of stone towers and battlements, where the small, red-scarfed Prince stands at its heart, surrounded by an array of pin-like figures dotting the castle walls. The bird's-eye perspective gives the whole scene a wonderfully toylike, almost game-board quality that feels both grand and intimate at once. A fine addition to this 2013 series for young readers ready to follow an extraordinary traveler across the universe.
