Description
A specialist London bookstore is selling an original typescript of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's children's classic "The Little Prince", complete with the author's hand-written corrections and revisions. The battered book and Saint-Exupery's French Ministry of Culture-issued passport go on sale in Abu Dhabi with an asking price of at least $1.25 million. It was acquired earlier this year for an undisclosed sum by rare books specialist store Peter Harrington. The typescript also contains his famous phrase, "One only sees clearly with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
