Le Petit Prince
Le Petit Prince, or as most of you might know it, The Little Prince, is a novella published in 1943 by French aviator Antoine de Saint Exupery. The Little Prince has been translated into over 180 languages and approximately 80 million copies have been sold which makes it one of the world’s 50 best-selling books!
The whimsical drawings reproduced in most versions of the book are done by Saint Exupery himself. One drawing gives us a view of The Prince on his house-sized planet, B612, which has three volcanoes (two active, and one dormant) and a rose. We also see him caring for his planet by digging up the baobab trees that are constantly trying to grow there. If the baobab trees become too many the asteroid is in danger of being split into pieces! Before travelling to earth, The Prince visits other asteroids, one of which is inhabited by a sleepless Lamplighter. The Prince shows much empathy for him as this Lamplighter must light and extinguish a lamp once a minute to keep up with his asteriod’s speedy rotation.
A pilot lost in the Sahara Desert meets The Prince when he arrives on earth and creates a portrait of this young extraterrestrial with golden curly hair and princely robes. The Little Prince also meets and tames a fox who explains to The Prince that even though there are many roses, his rose is unique and special, because she is the one that he loves. In another drawing we see The Prince sitting on the ruins of a stone wall with a poisonous yellow snake at the bottom, and in case you haven’t read the book we won’t tell you what happens next!
Le Petit Prince notepads and planners by Art Deco 7321 are decorated with many of these memorable drawings and are now available at our Writer’s Bloc online store. If you are not yet familiar with it, why not pick up a copy of Le Petit Prince at your local library or bookstore and see for yourself why this book has such enduring popularity.

Greetings
Thanks for joining Writer’s Bloc for the launch of our blog! Our obession with all things paper has spurred a lot of research, experimentation, and creative ideas; this blog will be the place to share what we learn and love with you!
Of course we will talk about quaility writing tools, like Clairefontaine paper and LAMY fountain pens, but we will also talk about random, but useful things, like how to make book-covers out of rice paper and how to correctly apply skins to your iPod or Nintendo DS Lite. In blog posts soon to come we will look at how to utilize French-ruled paper and how to mix and create your own fountain pen inks. In addition to many "how-to" postings, we’ll blog about our favorite things, great new stuff we’ve discovered, and well, whatever else we feel like talking about that week.
So please take a look around, leave us a comment or two, and check back often for postings that will be useful and interesting to you. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, send us an e-mail with your ideas or questions and we’ll work on it.
Enjoy!
