The Saint-Exupéry Estate (the Succession Antoine de Saint-Exupéry-d’Agay, to give it its full title in French) now has its own very own space on the Internet, created a few months ago. Presented in the form of a blog, it offers you a chance to get to know the representatives of the Estate, and find out all the latest news about Saint-Exupéry, l’Aéropostale and, of course, the Little Prince. A good starting-point for exploring another aspect of the world of Saint-Exupéry.

There are a number of links to related sites; one of them will take you to the website of the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation where you can download the brochure explaining this ambitious initiative.

Bookmark the blog for future reference, and feel free to add your comments.

The DVD of the Little Prince’s latest adventures is available for pre-order from 17 November. As well as the Little Prince himself and his friend the fox, this is your chance to discover the famous Planet of Time. A planet where the very idea of time seems to be out of kilter. Could the snake and his dark ideas be behind it all?

For older viewers, the DVD includes a bonus making-of section, while the prestige edition includes the folio adaptation of the adventure on the Planet of Time.

You will find the Little Prince more adventurous than ever, a fox full of mischief and a snake worthy of the very blackest of cartoon villains.

Discover the DVDs.

The snake, that strange and enigmatic character in Saint-Exupéry’s tale, is back, too. In the animated TV series, the snake is the source of all the problems the Little Prince has to set right. He whispers wicked ideas into people’s ears and commands the dark thoughts of the beings we will be introducing you to shortly in the Little Prince series.

You will have noticed that the graphics for this particular character are extremely sophisticated. There is something of many different kinds of poisonous reptile in his appearance, including the viper, the cobra and the legendary plumed serpent of South America.

This complex, enigmatic character will be voiced by actor Guillaume Gallienne of the Comédie Française: French TV audiences will remember him for his masterly interpretations in Les Bonus de Guillaume.

Gifts for all ages or perfect collectibles, the Little Prince watches are a surefire hit. They come in every colour and every size. Essential if we’re not to be late meeting the friend we have “tamed”.

Saint-Exupéry often spoke of the joy of flying, the exhilaration of soaring high into the stratosphere, the beauty of the earth seen from the air. These superb photos of the famous Bréguet XIV in the skies over Morocco give you a sense of what he felt.

It took ten years of hard work and dedication to produce this replica of the airplane that was once the glory of l’Aéropostale. This Bréguet XIV features a few modern instruments, including GPS and a radio system. Flying conditions are pretty much the same as they were 80 years ago: testing.

It was because of her that the Little Prince left his planet, and it was also for love of her that the Little Prince let the snake bite him. The rose is a key figure in the world of the Little Prince and for many she represents the women in Saint-Exupéry’s life: mother, sister, confidante, wife.

Here is an exclusive preview for you of the preliminary sketches of the rose made for the animated TV series. At the beginning of each episode, the rose reads the latest letter from the Little Prince… a nod to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who kept in touch with friends and loved ones by means of an abundant flow of correspondence.

Just like the rose in the book, this animated rose is the epitome of refinement and beauty. Actress Marie Gillain lends her voice to this central figure in the forthcoming series.

If you’re a collector or a lover of beautiful things, then the online store has something new for you. Editions Michel de Seguins have designed a superb collection of raw pewter figurines. As is so often the case, it was Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s watercolours that inspired these beautifully crafted pieces, made in France.

Each serially numbered figurine comes in its own presentation box and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
