Little Prince publication data

Hi Harry,

I've read your informative article on Exupery's Little Prince and am hoping you can provide the source for footnote 2: "The first English translation by Katherine Woods was published ... approximately one week prior to its first French printing by the same publisher...." Thanks Williamchrisant (talk) 14:43, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Williamchrisant, several sources (such as here and here) state that Reynal & Hitchcock published their English and French versions 'concurrently' starting on April 6, 1943. The same Weebly.com article has a sales flyer displayed showing twice as many English autographed copies available compared to autographed French copies. Perhaps the person who wrote of the editions being spaced a week apart looked at such numbers to base the statement of its publication history. Much of my Little Prince research is packed away in file boxes. If I can provide further info on your query at a later date, I'll do so. Best: HarryZilber (talk) 14:29, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
