He wrote it in a rented house in Long Island, illustrating it himself in watercolor, the way he illustrated all his manuscripts. The Little Prince's golden hair, his green scarf, his small planet with its three volcanoes and its one rose these are Saint-Exupéry's own images, made by his own hand, for a story that came from the deepest part of what he understood about love and what he was afraid of losing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is dedicated: \u003cem\u003e\"To Léon Werth.

The rose is vain and demanding and occasionally dishonest and completely, irreplaceably herself. The prince tends her. He waters her. He covers her with a glass dome when the night grows cold. He brushes the volcanic ash away from the planet so the volcanoes don't erupt and damage her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then, because he is young and doesn't yet understand what he has, he leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the book is about what he learns while he is gone.
