Rare Typescript of 'The Little Prince' to Be Auctioned for $1.25 Million

The unique copy, featuring Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's handwritten notes, will be sold at the Abu Dhabi Art Festival in November.

The typescript is one of only three known copies, with the other two held in France and Texas.
This version includes Saint-Exupéry's handwritten corrections, sketches, and deleted passages.
The typescript contains the first written appearance of the famous line about seeing with the heart.
Peter Harrington Rare Books acquired the typescript earlier this year and is facilitating the sale.
The typescript has generated significant interest, with potential buyers from museums and private collections worldwide.
